Topic: poket Jacks Forum: Card Chat

Pocket Jacks are a dangerous hand. They tend to look better then they really are. The problem that you got is that anybody that stays in more than likely has an overcard and can pull a higher pair to beat you. Even if they don't get a higher pair, you will have the delema of what to do next should an overcard come out on the board. To take the hand, you will probably be foreced to increase your bet in order to show that you have top pair or better. Otherwise, your showing weakness and lose control of the hand.

All that said, I treat pocket jacks similar to a low or middle pair. I'll call the blind or a small raise to see the flop. I may be more aggressive later in a tournement depending upon the situation, but for the most part, I just try and avoid a potentially bad hit.
