2. QQ is far closer to JJ than KK.


Again, what?

KK is a power hand. It's huge. You need a fantastic read to ever fold it. It's batman to AA as superman. The only thing KK fears is AA even Ak is no big deal.

QQ is a very good hand. But against lots of action not only do you have to fear AA or KK but any A or any K.
So KK is played hard (almost) always and more like AA.

QQ is more like JJ. It's a great hand that requires more caution. Of course, OFTEN a push is a no brainer, but it is a far easier hand to go broke on than KK but more similar to JJ - IMHO. This forum is littered with guys that are frsutrated with QQ getting cracked. FAR less so with KK.

Net, QQ is more like JJ than KK. IMHO of course.

CodeWarrior DID NOT approve this post. But I'd like to think that TaxGodess agrees.

Thanks for all the advice, guys. I'm still not sure how I will play this in the future, but a weak re-raise will not be an option. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I agree , though I never really thought about it that way. Since this is true would it not make sense to play JJ like QQ? I usually limp w/ JJ but raise with QQ, I'm wondering now if perhaps it would be better to raise with JJ and play it the same way I would QQ? Or would I be better off limping my QQ and playing them like JJ?
