Which Do You Prefer AK or JJ?

Comboss599 · Sep 2, 2022

It depends on which stage of tournament i play on. In early stage i would prefer AK, on later stage i would prefer JJ especially on payout stage.

Head to head, both hands are close in equity, but pocket jacks are ahead by a little. With AK, we are 44% underdog against JJ 56% to win. Things get a bit better for AKs. In that case, we have 46% to win, and when we have AKo, we have only 43%.

I prefer JJ, he usually always comes out on the flop you also already have a pair of secure pockets AK is just having high cards in your hand, no one guarantees that you will win: D

I definitely prefer AK over JJ. I lose 80% of the time with JJ.

I used to say AK, but now I say both of them, just got to make sure to play them right

Hmmmm...For me are this pocket cards equal bad. But, I prefer AK.

I would not risk not hooking my Par, I'd like JJ.

The strategy for playing pocket jacks in tournaments is different from cash games. In tournaments, with the exception of the early stages, you will most often play with a short stack. This means that the strength of JJ increases. Pocket jacks are a strong, but at the same time difficult hand to play. The main rule with her: do not overclock the bank. If you don't get a set postflop with an overcard, play carefully and be ready to fold to a big raise. Don't make the mistake of many beginners who often lose big stacks with jacks by overestimating their strength on many boards.I prefer AK.

AK all the time, how are you meant to play JJ?

gon4iypes · Oct 11, 2022

Well AK has dropped me in the mud 4 or 5 times over the last 2 days......straights, sets and once guy calles me down with 92o...he flopped a 2 and rivered a 9 for 2 pairs. aaaargh. But the variance will turn and will have a steaming hot run !!!!!!

The dreaded JJ have let me down so many times (but then so have AA)
AK would be hard to abandon if suited

SL-247 · Oct 11, 2022

I would choose JJ. This is a ready-made combination. In addition, this hand has a chance of more than 12% to collect a set, while AK has only 2.5% chance to make a straight.

PauPau · Oct 11, 2022

Based on my HUD database both my AKs and AKo (more) net chips than my JJ.

I like more AK than JJ

AK. It's easy to fold after the flop if you didn't improve.

hilary antonik filho · Oct 11, 2022

lately I've been running away from the aces, but it will depend a lot on my position at the table and the placement in the tournament, I prefer the pair of cards that will take me to the bubble, final table or who knows the victory, I'm staying with JJ for now

urubudopoker · Oct 23, 2022

I sombra de duvidas AK pois JJ sempre tem bad bit no river!

AVAngelov · Oct 23, 2022

For me definitely JJ are better, I m so tired of getting AK and than nothing on the table.

even though JJ is a formed pair, I will always prefer AK.

FrizzaoR · Oct 27, 2022

JJ 4sure. you already have a nice hand, but u have to be very carefull and take a look in other elements in the game.

If AIPF then JJ, if not then AK.
Reason being, with JJ when the overcard hits (and they will hit often) it's hard to play postflop. Often you could up mucking the best hand, though most times if there's like two overcards on the board, the JJ is no good. With AK it's easier to fold when you miss and easier to feel more comfortable with top pair when you hit a K or A.

finaltable1 · Nov 2, 2022

JJ ofc

redmast · Nov 2, 2022

I prefer an AK.

testing826 · Nov 2, 2022

hand me K/A over JJ

Danaire72 · Nov 2, 2022

I respect everyone's opinion, but personally and from experience I prefer AsK , since 90% of the time I play with JJ they lose. even making thirds at the table I have lost. And I'm not just saying it, JJ have a bad vibe. whenever you have jj they land on table As,K,Q. and with that you already lost. Because if the J falls, I bet they make you straight on the board. Therefore I definitely prefer Ask
