Which Do You Prefer AK or JJ?

[ledsmith]

Both are strong cards. With both, you can win, or you can lose. You have to play according to the situation, I think.

 

[Zaner]

JJ is more strong

 

[kitchy65]

AK...though it's quite an illogical preference.

JJ is the better hand

 

[daibert murillo]

I like to play more with AK depending on my chips I play all in, and with JJ I just play seeing the flop first.

Depends, what kind of game I am in, is this an all-in race preflop? AK has more outs, how many players were dealt cards? Any other players call? bet? raise? JJ could be better if other players got dealt A or K and play the hand, JJ can stretch for lower straight, AK is prettier...gee I don't know...I suppose push to shove I take my chances with the 2 over cards.

JJ - Call
AK - All
Don't change yourself, of these two cards, AK is preferable

 

[Erickaie]

If you have been playing poker for a while now, you should understand that TT and JJ are the most complicated hands to play, so I will say AK .

AK but it's very close. Situation of course matters a lot and heads up JJ wins out

 

[samuri]

ace king is very strong but with more people calling JJ would be stronger.

 

[theoxy]

Both are great, i prefer JJ, my fav hand.

Most of the time AK is better.
JJ is a high pair, but once an A, K or Q comes on flop, JJ is almost destroyed.
You have to check the flop and make decision after.

preflop ac, but jacks can hit the board well
