How to play JJ

[B1BOMBER]

JJ, like any other hand, should be played based on the situation, opponents and the board.

Very well said!!! But that said, JJ is one of those hands I hate!!!!! I just don't like my odds if anyone calls the raise!! I fold JJ a lot when not in good position!!

I see a possibility of me going all-in pre-flop especially if blinds are high and pot is big enough! If not, I raised or limp~

Focus on where you are on the table. If you are early to act a 4 bet may be a good strategy. If you are later to act. If others limp in, you may want to limp and see if you hit the set. If you don't hit best option is to fold. If everyone ahead folds, a bigger bet may be the option you want to take. A K or Q are a big red flag. only call a limp to get one more shot at trips.

raise pre cbet if there's overcard just check the turn and try to get to showdown as cheap as possible

Got knocked out my first ever large live tourney event, eons ago. Out of position mis-play. I remember JJ. The hooks that can turn against you and leave you dangling.

JJ always controversial hand to play. Definitely can be a great hand but it depends on many other factors - position - blinds - late games and so on

i think jacks is a good combo

I like jacks. Just play with caution and don't overplay it. I used to lose a lot of chips with jacks but then reconsidered my strategy and doing just fine.
