Default The JJ Leak

Every now and then I get into the bad habbit of getting stuck with JJ, which is a win a small pot or lose a big one type of hand. It runs into higher pairs too much. This is probally the biggest leak of most players at 5/10 and above.

Great stuff. You should email Mason and David to ask about writing articles for the Two Plus Two Internet Magazine.

All I can say is, if there is such a thing as a great poker player compared to a good poker player - it is knowing when to lay down big hands!!

All hail the big El D!

OP- JJ can be hard to play, but only if you make it hard. If you want to make it easy, when the board flops high, lay it down when given resistance. If the board flops low, take it down then and there. If you hit a set, lure them along until they leak like a siv.
When you don't want JJ to be hard, it doesn't have to be.

The only reason people think JJ is hard is because they seem to expect to win 90/100 which is never going to be the case. Not only do you likely have the best hand going in but you are ahead when you ops miss the flop and your set value can be huge when it hits. In may ways JJJ can be a better disguised set than 222-999 simply because the board must look stronger and you are more likely (in the ops mind) to have a piece of it without having the monster you have. Betting high on a raggedy board is transpartant against decent players.
