    Default Damn JJ

    Can't stand Jacks, I nearly always raise with them, but I am looking for an excuse to fold on the flop.

    One of the top hands in Hold em. Raise 'em pre-flop, bet the flop and re-eval the turn. If you hit your set, you are golden, if the board is all unders, you probably are goot but with overcards on the flop you may not be goot. The biggest mistake I see others make when playing them is to play them like da nuts. If there is an overcard on the flop and esp. when villain is raising or betting out big, you are dead. It's only a pair of Jacks--fold em and move on.

    There are a couple of ways to play JJ and it depends on position and table fabric

    In a vacuum you want to get heads up, and you want to reconsider if you are reraised preflop by a tight player.

    On the flop treat it like the best hand if you were not reraised preflop and the flop is all unders.

    If you have 1 opponent with one over on the flop which is not an A bet it out

    JJ is one of the most position depending hands i play. OOP be careful and hope for a baby flop, HU u can easily survive an overcard on the flop. 3bet IP.

    Tricky hand. I've won big with them and lost big with them, sometimes in the same session.

    I'm usually raising them from all positions, maybe even re-raising with them from LP if I think the initial raiser is full of shit. The flop is the killer though... Overcards coming, especially an ace or king, is a big cooler. If I've raised or re-raised, it's likely they have something better than me and I'm beat. I got suckered by one guy holding 9s that setted up on the flop. I'd re-raised pf and he'd called with them. I bet the flop, he called it... etc.

    You should bet even if the over is an A. People call with so much stuff that there's often a good chance they don't have the A and will believe that you do.

    I think in case an A hits the flop it is more dependant on position and reads
