Message: [QUOTE="Leo 50, post: 1148725, member: 24367"] JJ is a tough hand to play. The really hard part for me (and I'm sure others) is that it is a pair!:) Most of the time I do what you described raise 3-4 times the BB and try to eliminate the A-2's etc. More importantly is the post flop, if they are small cards I push just like you did. Remember you would have lost with pocket Q's as well. If the board shows Q-K-A's in some fashion I will play the hand differently each time. If I'm in early position, a small bet to see where I am, later position, I watch to see what the other players are doing. If I know I am playing with a loose field, I may stay in (if it's cheap enough) to see another card. If I have tight players and they are betting, I will probably throw them away. Sometimes the hardest thing to do in poker is throw them away when you know you're beat. (My apologies to Jen Harmon) :cool: [/QUOTE]
