pocket jacks

[pokerkq]

I can not seem to play pocket jacks right. If I only do a standard 2 to 3 times the blind raise I end up getting burnt. If I go all in pre flop I end up getting burnt. If I slow play them I get burnt. I hate pocket jacks. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I usually have decent luck with pocket j's. I usually raise 3 to 4 times the blind and normally a fish will bite. But if your not comfortable fold'em

OH i so totally agree with you. POCKET JACKS NEVER WIN!!!! just so you know. That is one thin gthat really angers me. Whether online or in a homegame i always lose with them. I wish i had the sense to fold them, but i just don't. i am silly

try limping and seeing a cheap flop and hitting a set, who says that just cuz you have a pocket pair you have to raise? if you cant win with them, just limp and then you don't lose as much, switch up your play a bit, dont always raise with big hands, a lot of people call you when you raise a lot cuz no one will give you credit for actually having a hand. if you limp and see a cheap flop, who knows you might hit big with a set or you might hit a low flop that you can bet people off. try slowing down a bit, you dont always have to raise

From the holdem section?

I call them Jakes. Because I knew a guy named jake who used to screw me over no matter what. Jakes are always unlucky to me. Esp the hand, J3, which is worse than 7 2 IMO. And when it comes to pockets, at a table of 10 people, chances are you and two others have pockets, and usually the person with the lower pockets will flop trips.

I HATE POCKET JACKS.


They look so good, but they might as well be 2's considering most people only play A-Q type cards.

I recently got busted on out of a tournament on the bubble with jacks by someone who called me with queen six, its a tough hand to play you gotta hope for a small flop or a set otherwise just muck them

I Reallt Dont Like Them Either I Bet Aggressive With Them Prflop And Hope Nope Overs Come. But It All Depends On How The Other Players Are Playin At The Current Table. I Really Like To See The Jack On The Flop Tho Makes Me Feel All Good Inside. Lol
