Hello friend, it is true that the answer is very wide, since it depends on many factors, you are playing cash, tournaments, your position, your opponent or if there are more people involved in the hand, if it is for a 3bet, 4 bet or more maybe ... as I told you before it is relative depending on many variables, but the truth is that in my opinion the truth is that it is common to throw them pre flop, but after an examination of many or perhaps more of the conditions given that I mentioned earlier ! (sorry for my bad English) good luck at the tables🙂

It is really situational dependent. JJ is considered a premium hand but I play them the same way that I play TT. However, they do gain value if I am against a hyper aggressive opponent who is raising and 3 betting a lot. You know they are playing a wide range and JJ will do well against that range. However, if I raise and someone who rarely raises 3 bets me...I feel more confident either folding or calling to set mine with them.
I used to go all-in every time I had JJ preflop if necessary. But it hasn't been a good decision on alot of occasions. Now it's to the point with me that i will scarcely risk all my chips pre-flop on JJ. Im not much of a fan at all on that hand lol.
Did you have any idea of the villains' tendencies? What were the possible scenarios after flop? Do you have any idea how the stacks affect the action? Do you just call to see a flop and hope for the best? If you are going to call all in, why you just don't play it aggressively yourself from the beginning? What else... Mmm... Do you like butterflies?1sunchin said:
if sometimes it is to try to get more opponents to leave and thus not to collide with many opponents and lose with a more devil hand since they will almost always go hands with good projects and if one acts very step and does not raise the bet more will enter the game and according to the amtis of the flop your good hand will pass a marginal
Depending on situations - too numerous to mention - it's not only normal but mandatory. Nobody ever advances and moves forward in poker until they learn how to fold big hands when they're beaten. At the lower buyins and freerolls there are very few players who know when to fold. They overvalue hands preflop, can't let go of top pair, and on and on and on. Sometimes they win in the short run and even for longer stretches than that but in the long run, they will lose and be forever broke.
Well, I wouldn’t say that this is normal ... it all depends on what happened on the flop .. if there are aces or kings .. then you can still believe that the opponent has cards in his hands ... stronger than yours ... but sometimes you need to know measure ... and not be a buffalo
I wouldn’t say it’s normal to fold JJ preflight, it all depends on what bets are out, chip stacks that are in and positioning, it’s never bad to fold a hand means your in 5e game for another round, I wouldn’t fold jacks only to a massive raise, or a massive stack size,
