Phil Hellmuth in his book "Play Poker Like The Pros" prefer AK over JJ.
I also like AK since it has got removals and is only crushed by AA. Also it’s easier hand to play.

I like both but prefer AK... It’s more enjoyable to play post flop, and has another hand crushed more often than JJ, from my personal experience.

I prefer AK you tend to lose when you go all-in with JJ and the other player has better cards also depends on the situation

AK is a very strong drawing hand , I would choose it


Generally it depends , JJ can be played well in specific spots and occassions , shove small stack preflop , AK is always nice

Between the two my heart balance...

Starting with a pair is always welcome, but from preferring it to AK I don't agree because I never win anything with JJ and much more often with AK.

On the preflop, JJ is a small favorite - so I prefer a ready hand!

I like the question

I think I prefer 18 over Jack Jack face King can be double suited and hit a low straight and a high straight and any pair and it beats the jacks. Good luck on the tables everyone and as always have fun

AK suited > JJ > AKos would be my personal ranking. I feel like JJ pre can result in some tricky spots but AKs I'm more confident with overall.

Literally 50/50. JJ probably my slight preference just for the fact you have the higher chance of hitting a set plus flush and straights are still available.
