one of the worst hands ever

aussiestev

Hi my name is aussiesteve and I have been playing for some time now and am becoming quite used to getting beaten by the wonderful K K  mind you it doesn't like to hold up for me.
I was just playing in £100 guaranteed speed started at 22.35.  Take a look at hand 201451720 
I had the wonderful hand of J J which I always go all in on other wise I lose bigtime.  Did the usual thing went all in, got one caller, got another caller both all in.
Hands are shown.

my J J

then,  A A

and the third one J J

would you ever read about it.

needless to say I was out.

thanks

Hi aussie steve

unlucky with the pocket jacks above.
the only suggestion about pocket jacks i would make is to not always put all your chips in.  it's a good starting hand but there are a lot of hands that will improve and beat it.

You should certainly raise with it to minimise the players in the hand, then if you get re-raised hopefully you have a read on the other player and know whether to push or to let it go.

JJ aint that good a hand, same as QQ, sometimes i wish i never got them,usually if you get a caller for your all in it will either be a race (AK,AQ, etc) or you will be behind to AA, KK,QQ. For JJ i prefer Depending on position, setting a raise that i believe will get only one caller, if a Q,K, or A comes on the flop and the other player bets i will nearly always fold. If they are undercards then push all in. This is only one way to play and others play differently, even i will play these different, it all depends on the situation at the time ( is it the bubble,are you short stacked etc)

If you go all in with JJ what are you getting called by? AA,KK,QQ, AK,AQ... so you are going to be at best 50/50 ... make a raise if flop comes A,K rag etc, u an easily fold... dont comit urself all in with 1 pair which is only 4th pair

P.S only people who are in a hand can view it in HH.. you will have to copy and paste the hand if you want us to see it
