pocket jacks

bullyfish

if there is NOT a software flaw (as opposed to site being fixed, which it obviously is NOT) then someone tell me why my pocket jacks have run into pocket aces 5 times in a row?   i now simply fold pocket jacks which i wouldnt dream of playing live   im not saying i wouldnt fold them if i was behind raises and re-raises but when i open for a raise and get re-raised i now have to throw them  

DOHHHHHHH

Aup m8 !

it's a pretty sorry state of affairs if you are open folding the 4th best possible hand you can be given (out of 150+ hands lol)

Jacks are notoriously tricky to play, as you normally only get action from hands that beat you, yet you feel obliged to putyour money in coz you have a high pocket pair.

Try and pot control, post some hands in the poker clinic, we'll try and help you.

Loved this one. Thought before shoving that the huge UTG raise didn't really want a call and I was probably ahead. Making the house was really rubbing my nose in it, although it did give me an extra out on the river.
