Last tournament i played i went out with jacks had 12bb left pushed all in utg got one caller with pocket queens , i knew as soon as i seen the jacks it would be my last hand if i had more of a stack i would have treated them like any small pocket pair just call and try hit a set, i hate JJ there is no good way to play them

This is my hand that I hate the most, how do you play if blinds are small In 3rd to act, no raises yet just 2 calls. Do you call or bet. The blinds are .050 and $1

I bet, or raise, or go all in. But it depends on my position in the tournament, and where the bubble is.
 
I Guess JJ is for pos-flop game because his domination for over Pairs. Just in case you are shortstack! My opinion of course.
 
All in that preflop will get out some of the lower cards and who ever calls has a descent hand. Or 5 bet the pot just in case you dont want to get knocked out if called . scared money dont make money is a poker saying that holds true. Good luck and crush it on the tables.
 
I am never lucky with jacks. Mostly a small bet or raise to keep away the fishes. I play them very carefully
 
В зависимости от позиции, бет, реиз 2и по агрессивнее так на тёрне, если до этого дойдет
 
Depending on position, style of play of people left to play, effective stack size. In general, it is worth a bet definitely, however not wrong to sometimes set mine. If a higher card hits the board, based on your observations before, u should play more conservatively. And sometimes, it makes sense to shoot a 2nd barrel as abluff to see the opponents reaction.
