Guys, which hand do you consider to be the most complicated to play? A lot of people talk about JJ, especially us Brazilians, we have seen many Brazilian professional players losing with this hand both in live and online tournaments. I've already lost a few times with this hand, and I've also won, and I say that normally I'll play again depending on the situation at the table, and you?

Probably something like A10 - AQ. Never as strong as it is pretty!

the most difficult game with a map that you don't know how to play with and don't know how to play against an opponent for me, the strangest hand I'm bad at playing is A10 and JJ they're the most uncomfortable for me because I can be far behind and think that I'm ahead and make a mistake I think this hand is problematic for many people and for good reason because you may think it's a strong hand but it's not like that:)

Personally, anything with queens. A pair of queens seems to be pure poison for me. It's not science or statistical I think, but is burned into my brain. Beware!

JQ off for me is the most complicated to play, you will often be dominated by your opponent, this hand tends to lose a lot of chips

In my opinion, the hardest thing for me to play is A J . It seems that the hand is good, but it is inferior to many postflop

This is a hand that you have to be very careful with, as I find it very vulnerable despite being strong!:jh4::js4::unsure:

It is more about flop then about the hand and what can you represent as strong hand in my opinion. JJ may be strong if there is 2 5 9 on flop but you can have AA if there is 8 9 10 of heart for example on flop you will not feel that good anymore. Especially if some villain raises a lot. But I assume hands like KJ or Q 10 are the worst. I lately don't like to play with those.

Hi
Of course, everything depends on the situation at the table. JJ is quite a strong pair, but sometimes there are situations when it is better not to take risks. It all depends on the stage of the tournament, the structure, your opponents, your position and the size of your stack. In most cases, I play aggressively with this pair.
Good luck :)

I don’t remember who exactly, but someone from the poker pro "industry" gave a text interview. There was a question about the reasons for the defeat and the answer consisted of several points, one of which was the JJ. Just JJ - it’s clear without words:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

JJ is a complex hand in poker, often dubbed the "Moneymaker" hand due to its potential for both big wins and losses. Playing it effectively hinges on factors like position, stack size, and opponent behavior. Early position often calls for a raise, while later positions may favor a call. Be cautious post-flop, as JJ is vulnerable to overcards. Adaptation to the game is crucial, and there's no universal strategy. Keep learning, stay cautious, and you'll handle pocket jacks better over time. I know it's easier said than done, but that's my 1 cent. Good luck at the tables!

I believe that AA, AK, AQ and AJ, despite being good hands, can be difficult. It is very easy to fall into the temptation of betting with more conviction with this type of hand. However, a 222 will always beat an AA. This could cause us to lose everything. That's why I consider hands to be more difficult to make decisions with.
