depends...

to a typical 3 bet or moderately over... i'll call. if however theres 5 people in the hand for instance, jacks aren't likely to be sufficient. That many people calling mean A,K,Q are around the table... so i'll call a moderate bet, but not for my tournament life. when playing on 888 i literally have never won with JJ... and i play on there a LOT. furthermore i have not seen many others win with them iether. I don't know what everybody else feels... but JJ is NOT an all in hand.

Sometimes you have to take risks. Although I don't like either JJ or QQ

It seems like it goes against everything you know but folding is the correct play.

Not normal, because I don't give up a lot with that hand. If I happen to lose with this type of hand, I will happily lose.

It honestly depends on the situation. JJ is basically the same as 5's through 10's pre-flop. If you are facing a 3-bet and 4-bet pre, it is a fold for me most of the time.


Yep, agree with this statement.

I play JJ 4bet/4betcall and fold5bet, because my JJ are the worst in the 5bet / all in range, always dominated by QQ+ and flip with AK, I prefer play 4bet/call4bet

each situation must be analyzed

Hello friend, it depends if the opponent is tight aggressive or loose aggressive, if he is a regular or a recreational, if he is a regular and he realizes that you have an easy fold, he will exploit you and take out many chips, you have to analyze the rival and his rank

No, for me it is not normal, JJ has rank 4 only AA KK QQ are more important, not even AKs is more important than JJ

A lot of players can't fold a hand like JJ and in a few cases it is advisable in my opinion, e.g. one player makes a 3-bet and the next one raises.
