Message: [QUOTE="Pokerstudy, post: 5778090, member: 433356"] With JJ just think of the outs for overcards and it will tell you it’s a marginal hand, a lot of people get excited about AJ as well, it can get you in all KINDS of problems. JJ depends on position, who your playing against and tendencies, who has folded, and of course board texture. As a stand alone, JJ is pretty much garbage imo, it’s worth calling with right odds to a raise but I would drop it fast if you even catch a slight whiff of strength from a player which includes any Q,KA or even a feel of a draw on flop (depending on draw). JJ looks pretty, but it really is just a pair that can easily be dominated and should play it with caution. This is just my inference on JJ, there are I am sure other factors to consider but those are my main. I have seen Doyle Brunson throw away wired jacks on WSOP 03 dvd and had absolutely no qualms doing so. [/QUOTE]
