    you get no consolation* from me w/o HH.

    also, tell me you dont lose to flops w/ over card. I mean as painfull as it is, you just gotta fold those Qxx flops.

    I'm thinking of folding them in certain situations now preflop...dependent on stack size, positions and pf action

    It's cliche, but isn't the saying "There's three ways to play Jacks. All of them are wrong."

    ive ALWAYS said that pocket jacks is my least favorite pf hand. I honestly now play JJ the same exact way il play 22 or 33. I limp if i can, or call if its a CHEAP raise. if i hit trips on the flop then great, but if i dont FOLD.

    Funny but whenever I get JJ I ususally win some pot so it's actually one of my fave starting hands.

    Oddly enough, JJ is my second most lucrative hand (to AA of course.)

    According to PT, I've had JJ 96 times and have won $210.20
    Compare that to....
    AA - 87 times / $331.45
    QQ - 112 times / $164.05
    KK - 106 times / $94.70

    On a side note, I should review my KK hands and see what the hell is going on there.
