I believe that JJ is one of the toughest hands to play in Hold Em. You have to remember that JJ is a premium hand. I would advise that JJ is easier to play if you are in later position at the table rather than early on. There are Other variables that may affect your decision: Tourney or cash game, Your chip stack, Limit or No Limit, number of players at the table, and your table image.

What is with pocket jacks.Every time i see them my ballsack shrinks!I fucking hate them..So how come when i get pocket 10s i say to myself,nice.I would like someone to explain to me.....
Folding JJ is not advisable in most circumstances. I find that I'm always going to raise with them... and it is a hand worth a 3bet when necessary. If you're raiser is UTG I'm probably just gonna call with JJ, especially if that player is LAG as I don't wanna shove before I see a flop as most players are going in with AK or AQ and it's a coinflip slightly in my favor. If up against a NIT a 3 bet is essential because if he just flat calls your 3bet you know you're probably ahead if no paint or A hits the flop. If the NIT 4 bets you, you probably should know you're beat...Quote:

Hell i've folded QQ before at a final table preflop with 6 people left, guy shoved in and he and I were chip leaders and I didnt need to win that hand to keep dominating so I let him take it, he showed me AKs... I was happy to fold because I didn't wanna get eliminated, had I lost I would have been crippled in chips to nearly nothin, and taken 6th place, instead i patiently waited and ended up taking 1st place for a much larger profit!
