It all depends on how the hand is being played, but what I have to say is that generally I don't have much luck with JJ.😁

JJ is that hand that you think is good but always disappoints

What does "trustworthy" mean?
How are you going to show your trust in this couple?
If you think that it is impossible to lose with such a hand, then it is not so. If you think that it is impossible to win with this hand, then it is not so either. Do you think gambling, and poker in particular, is "trustworthy"?

Cards are neither trustworthy or untrustworthy, it all depends on the play of the hand. That's up to you👍

Jacks are a strong starting hand, but using them effectively depends on the context, your position at the table, your opponents' playing styles, and other factors.Playing a JJ pocket pair in poker requires a tactical approach and the ability to adapt to different situations at the gaming table.It is important to remember that playing poker successfully is not only about the quality of your starting hands, but also about the ability to read your opponents, make the right decisions in various game situations and manage your stack.

This is a good hand and most of the time you can count in winning with it. It's weaker than only a few starting hands. Obviously you can lose with weak hands. But in general this i a hand you should most of the Times consider playing aggressivly with.

JJ and QQ have given me many bad flips and bad beats . Biggest losses in poker I had with these hands . Set to overpair or set over set or AK gets there in a flip against my JJ or QQ . These hands are cursed for me .

Trustworthy, you can be sure you can double up or be done in one hand.

Don't look for 'trustworthy' hands. They don't exist. Observe the table, your position, your stack and your opponents' stack and play according to your playing style.
This is the only thing that can be 'trusted' in Poker:
a solid strategy and self-control to do what is right.
Remember that there is an expression in Poker that is the 'heroic fold'. There is no 'heroic all-in', no 'heroic call' and no 'heroic raise'. Think about it...

A good pair, waiting for a set.
Just a pair beaten by queens, kings, aces etc.

JJ is my most unluck cards... I try or check, or 3bet on preflop.

I think JJ should always be played on the flop and turn, you should never go all-in preflop because they always lose, it is a hand that has to be played carefully, you should not overvalue that hand.

Sometimes JJ's are good and sometimes they're not. It depends on the hand we face and the way we play it. I personally don't usually have much luck with that hand. Greetings and good hands

Think Doyle said how to play this and qq many years ago and under what circumstances and WHY in SS1 or 2. Prefer the second book.
