I always try to 3bet but if I get re raise I normally fold

 

[fredastar777]

depends what situation is on table before you must decide... jq always have potencial, but mostly as conectors for straight... because in straight with qt take a part a k, and yours opponents with pair like this mostly call all in.

It depends on how deep you are and what is your position in the table.

QJ looks pretty, but is a hand that will get you into trouble if played poorly. Position is key. I wouldn't play it any earlier than the CO. In an ideal world you raise and everyone folds and you take down the blinds. If you get called by the blinds, OK, you have position. If you get called by the BTN, you're in bad shape and will need to proceed carefully as even if you make a pair, there's a good chance that you are dominated and miles behind.

If you get 3-bet, be prepared to just fold.

It’s a solid suited hand the problem is that it gets dominated versus AJ,AQ,KQ, have to be aware of your opponents range and know when there’s a chance you could be outkicked mostly play only the suited versions unless in late position

very interesting! could you also post the stats for AKs and AA? to have a reference

There’s been many good reply’s
So instead of quoting a bunch and going too in depth,
I’ll just say, that’s a bad hand in most positions,
But, like smart posters have said,
Give more info
What is going on in the game?
Early, middle, late stage in tournament, stack size and position of you and villian(s), and what sort of players act after you...
My best advice, post hands that you question your play, giving as much info like I mentioned above, and you will get way more helpful answers👍

play with this card from a late position for medium it is suitable if you can play the flop well if you are not sure it's better to discard this card for late positions, it's a strong hand there also depends on how you play other streets

 

[Rmi]

That hand has a lot to do with many factors. Firstly if they are suited or not, second the position; After these factors, the movement is analyzed, whether it is Fold, Call or Open Raise.

 

[Rob Hobson]

Answers for poker questions are most followed by 'if', but if I decide to play JQ, bout 80% of the time I raise fm any position.

 

[freerobert]

I also care about the other players. Fold against strong players and larger stacks. Against small stacks in late position i play if they look weak.
But in fact, it´s a gambling hand for me and i will fold in many cases.

 

[zipocool]

play according to the situation), from early positions to 9-max it is almost always a fold
