Which Do You Prefer AK or JJ?

valanddon · Nov 2, 2022

AK is great if you hit your card.

Station_Master · Nov 3, 2022

Depends on stack size/situation, bet generally JJ. Especially 100bb deep as you can make sets and over pairs, whereas AK its often TPTK which is good but not if you start facing alot of aggression

AK for sure. JJ is fragile against multiple players, but in a table eith fewer players its works better for me

56.65% is the reason why i favour JJ over AK - however as already commented, it is situational based on who else is playing, their effective stack size against yours/stage of tourney (unless cash game) and obviously board texture - pre flop odds however its 56.65% v 42.95% with a 0.41% tie - this is based on offsuited cards.
JJ is a hand where most players i find try to force a fold on a low board and i do not see many players playing it to the river as it increase risk equity of Q/K/A dropping on turn and river.

JJ is a ready-made combination, and AK is practically nothing without a suitable deal of cards.

Aleksandr1991 · Nov 5, 2022

I would rather choose JJ, since A or K doesn't always help

neptunas888 · Nov 7, 2022

I choose JJ because it is already a made hand, and most likely someone on the table already had weak aces or kings that were thrown into all-in.

I think JJ has more equity in a 3 bet pot. But once its a 4 bet pot, AK does better.

AK also has difficulty in realizing equity when you make a pair. So it makes sense to play it aggressively preflop.

Most of the time I prefer AK, however if I get under 15 BB's I prefer JJ.
If the AK is suited then the switch in preferance happens under 10 BB's.

AK all day pre flop sir! we can all make arguments but based on my experience Ak served me waaaay more than JJ, in fact JJ has really put me in ver bad spots! same as TT evryone knows the hands are the hardest to play!

ROYALROAD · Nov 23, 2022

It's AK. At JJ, I don't feel like going all-in. AK also has a higher win rate.

thedarkman · Nov 23, 2022

I prefered AK on Tuesday. I cracked JJ and won a dollar!

GarotoMaroto · Nov 24, 2022

I think that in most situation AK,but in a few JJ,even not really being a JJ huge fan XD
AK its a good hand but JJ its a made hand so the fase of the tourney its very important in that matter XD
God bless

Svetluj · Nov 24, 2022

AK looks greate, but loses to any pair in allIn on preflop on a distance.

AK, I always lose with JJ one way or the other

Zaner · Dec 2, 2022

it's flip coin,but jj is more strong.but sometimes you lose flip coin.

valanddon · Dec 2, 2022

AK is better because you have 6 outs to make your hand.

TaNIAnT · Dec 2, 2022

I would rather take AK, but it`s not for sure that I will win)

kitchy65 · Dec 2, 2022

AK....suited

Personally, I believe JJ to be the least profitable hand irrespective of the math.
You are folding to over cards at the flop, your opponent is likely to have that over card. To be frank, I'd rather play 88 than JJ....as people are reluctant to fold JJ, even when knowing they're beat.

Rockyfour · Dec 2, 2022

JJ crushes hands AK doesn't really crush many hands and the hands that you do crush are hard to extract value from post-flop. Really need an A on the flop and when 2 are removed it's 7.5:1 to flop one. Then if you have a tighter table image people might me able to get away from their top pair on the turn.

JJ crushes 78(s),89(s), TJ(s), Q10(s), (KJ)(s), AJ, 44, 55, ect ect.

tiptools · Dec 22, 2022

If there are more players involved in the pot then I prefer AK
in duels and especially if it is all in I prefer JJ,, because with AK you often lose even from 22

Niykk · Dec 22, 2022

AK please

JJ is just so hard to play for me

ledsmith · Dec 22, 2022

Both are strong cards. With both, you can win, or you can lose. You have to play according to the situation, I think.
