There is only 2 ways to play JJ.... and they are both wrong :D
Every hand depends on the situation... i like to raise with Jacks, not a min raise but nothing too big. if im the button maybe just a call.. see the flop - either trip up or see a small flop... try not to get too attached. just my opinion.
Very nice video in first post :) laughed a lil bit! but i think the best way to play jacks is to raise higher than kings ( 1/3 stack ) when you get a reraise try your luck and play the hand or let it be ;) ;)
ima raising, 2.5x mostly unless im short im pushing obv. big stack bullying i like jj
how to play pocket jacks: look at your cards, cry to yourself, pray to whatever god/lord you believe in, push your chips in, and cry some more
It's also with QQ or KK, if the flop shows 2 the same cards (for example the 3's), you lose when the other has a 3 in his hands.. Or when the other goes all in preflop, you have to call with JJ! The other can have 2 suited cards or whatever, but that's poker, it's all based on lucky..
this is my nightmere hand i hate this i will call to see the flop but from there who knows
i think is the same ,,,,jj qq kk aa ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,those are good cards ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:cool:
jacks are easily the hardrest hand to play
you just have to go all in and pray like hell
jj is kinda voodoo for me call is what im doin lol
I will lead with them or just call I always play them safe.
You just look at your jacks and cry for a while, seriously guys!
The video has poor content, with the one recording swearing without explaining anything at all :(
the best way to play them is the same as AA KK QQ or any other hand if your playing online
Doyle Brunson said there are 5 ways to play pocket Jacks and theyre ALL wrong :cool:
dont fold them shits and go smoke a joint or something....when u come back u will see why!!
all pocket hands can be losers all the way to flop to river and maybe all pocket hands can be wins. there is not any difference 22d or JJs or AAs.
My pocket jacks usually get beat out...fuck.
Play 'em like you got a pair!!! lol Deserves a raise, but all depends IMO on well everything. I don't play them the same way everytime.
Thnx for the video it was really very informational...
i think ,, i play in the same way like a pair ,,,,,be careful ,,,,,,,,,,
Limp then no face card on flop go all in.
I personally dislike pocket Jacks. They have the illusion of being a strong hand but at the same time can be very weak. It's a tricky hand at times.
always raise pre flop ato get ppl out well more ppl that can catch then if the flop has lesser cards out there its usually fine to bet more or go all in at least thats how i would do it depending on position.
The best way to play it is to raise pre flop...but don't go all in right away. You might get called by AK or AQ and end up catching their cards in the river.
If you raised pre flop and and somebody with AK or AQ called you, there's a chance of getting them fold if they dont catch any of their cards after the flop. Just make sure to bet high enough after the flop.
It goes the same way for AA, KK, QQ...you don't wanna slow play your high pair.
If you slow play your high pair like AAs, you may get called by 7,6 suited and that cards may catch two pair, flush or flush draw, or even straight or open ended straight.
Play wisely guys...know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.
I like pocket jacks, but usually limp in til see flop. No face cards or possible flush then bet.
In my experience, things rarely go good for pocket jacks.
best advice I can give u in online poker is to fold >>>>10 jj qq kk and aa all preflop just don't play them there a setup online and play all pairs lower than 1010 on a raise if they have 1 of the hands I mentioned when u have a smaller pair its almost impossible to lose online, now real poker live obviously the opposite is true u wanna play aa kk qq jj and 10 10!!!!
Harrington in his book showing nice way to play many cards, with A on flop and other :P
Pockets jacks are easy to play let me show you, oh for fk's sake. Actually they are not so hard I like them a little more than pocket 10's and just a little less than pocket Q's. :P
I play any pocket pair other than AA with the same mind frame and strategy.
