JJ is a good pair or not?

[Aleksandr1991]

For me, JJ is a very bad couple
Recently, I've been starting after the flop if there's no straight or an older card appears to throw JJ

Are you lucky with a couple like this?

Hi, Aleksandr 1991! For me JJ it's not a very good and not very bad couple... By my statistic: winning--fifty-fifty...
That's the way things are! And Good Luck!

 

[Jamil]

Very bad

Good luck to you too!)

Hello! Jacks are a good preflop hand to raise and call a 3bet. But of course, if we see high cards on the flop and you're not sure, you'll either have to bluff or fold.

Well I am not dealt this hand very often, it's strange. But I like this couple. Easy to play: You can raise preflop and it's simple to forget your continuation bet if you see an ace at flop.

Hello! Jacks are a good preflop hand to raise and call a 3bet. But of course, if we see high cards on the flop and you're not sure, you'll either have to bluff or fold.

Or you can just push JJ in the middle and late stages of the tournament. This hand is pretty good for all-in with a stack of 15bb or less.

At this stage of the tournament, even just picking up a pot containing the blinds and antes will be a good addition to your stack. And due to shoving, there will be high fold equity and you will win the pot more often.

Hello.

A normal hand is certainly not a premium hand like AA KK QQ, but understand, even AA is not 100%.
Therefore, if the opponent won a couple of times on the weakest pair, you should not invent something for yourself and not play this hand.

Pay no attention, let's move on.

My own experience with JJ is 2 minutes ago I lost all-in with AK hearts to JJ because on river comes J and he gets set while I had 2 pairs. Omg, I am so enraged by this.

I think it's bad, I always lose with JJ QQ KK AA.

Are you lucky with such a partner?

JJ is a good match, you should see the Zeros Poker preflop viewer. Com, it helps me a lot to know what to do with each hand and in what situation

 

[meagain00]

I like a lot of JJ and I think its a very good hand... preflop. Post flop it depends on the board and how aggressive you play.

I think it's bad, I always lose with JJ QQ KK AA.

I think that you also won very often with these cards in your hand)

 

[Pavel1203733]

Hello .
I think these cards are good on the preflop. If there are queens+ on the flop jacks of course lose it's value.
If i would have JJ with the short stack i could go all-in without doubts.

yes, you are right! shoving is the right decision when the stack is less than 15bb even with 88 pocket, especially if you are in position

Well this reminds me of the old joke, there are three ways to play jacks... all of them are wrong

 

[FrizzaoR]

thats a decent pair, but you cant trust 100% on it. I like this hand to slow-play the villain

Here are my aces)

 

[kitchy65]

I've folded more JJ on the flop than any other starting hand.

It plays terrible post flop.

 

[kostja007]

JJ in general you should at least open raise from every position. So this makes this hand strong. Can you jam JJ preflop? So this question you can with it depends. In a tournament with something like 15bb you can go allin from every position. In a cashgame deepstacked I would never jam. So you can say it is a good or bad hand. It depends.

 

[Rocketgyn]

I hate JJ, I lost count of how many tournaments and final straights that I was fine I threw away losing with JJ in hand

 

[Aleksandr1991]

I think it's bad, I always lose with JJ QQ KK AA.

you still need to be able to lose always with AA)

I dropped more JJ on the flop than any other starting hand.

He's a terrible postflop player.

That's for sure!!!!

jj is a good pair depending on the table that opens the board cards and that will give greater strength but even so any pair in the hand would be strong until the flop opens

There's a saying ..Jacks never fu*ing win.
It's difficult to play them. I suppose some are luckier with these pairs..
I mean I play them mostly but I'm always surprised if I won
