Pocket jacks is the worst hand in poker, 1. because you have to play them big, 2. because you always lose because of it. Jacks are the most feared hand in poker when i get them, you can never fold them.

I agree they are a bad hand - if played badly.

Not saying I can play them perfectly - but i have shown asteady profit of over $1 every time i got them.

The secret is knowing when to let go.

Key to playing JJ is to raise with em preflop - then you pretty much have to let em go if you get called and an overcard shows on the flop (unless you catch the set).

I've won more in the long haul by raising with JJ than by limping with em. I've also lost bigger pots by raising with em tho - comes with the territory.

Then again - I had someone tell me once that raising preflop with JJ was just like a semi-bluff lmao.

I agree, JJ feels like a pretty shitty hand, but after looking it up in Poker Office I see that that's not the case. The human brain can be quite deceiving at times.
