    Default Pocket jacks made profitable

    Excuse me for butting in but I just had to share this breaking news....

    According to pokertracker, after playing 39,676 hands, I have finally made pocket jacks a profitable hand!

    Some of you may not care but for any of those caught up in the throes of jack-ass-itis this will help you know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    ......Of course with an average of 2cents profitability per hand it's a small light, but never the less, a light!

    how do you play it? at 10max NL i tend to limp in EP and raise MP - LP... without raising i kinda play it for set value but take a shot at the pot if i have an overpair, as i would 77-TT. if ive raised i play it like any raising hand!
    Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

    I limp jacks from anything earlier than the cut off, raise hard from the CO or button if there are a couple of limpers, raise standard from the CO or button if there are zero to two limpers.

    Post flop i play for sets or over pair. I don't have 39k ring hands but JJ is slightly profitable for me, a little more so than 88 and 99 but not quite as much as TT(shrug?).

    Im playing 50nl pretty exclusively.

    I tend to be more aggresive with it now than I use to...preflop at least.

    Post flop I'll bet but then check the turn and river if overcards fall with no help to me.
