poker

Yes it is. Learn to play poker.
It's bad because whilst looking strong in the hand it's all too easy to over commit, 'cus it's like "oh Jacks in the hand!" when stronger stuff/pairs start hitting. If it was a shitty low pair you get out earlier.

I won almost $1200 on pocket jacks once... Guy tried to slow roll his Pocket Aces and then went all in after the flop came up AJJ.

On the flip side, the next week I lost $200 with pocket aces when I tried to "play more aggressively" as my profession friends kept telling me I should do if I ever want to be good. Opened with $50, guy called. Flop came out A55. He went all in. Confident my Full house would beat anything he would have called $50 on (figured he had pocket Ks or something and was now bluffing) I called him. He had called my $50 on pocket 5s, so he beat my full house. He went on to rake in about $10K that night, calling EVERY SINGLE HAND. That was the last night I went to the casino, even though I was up $8K for the year on a starting bankroll of $250. That was 2 years ago and it still makes me sick to think about that guy.

I know literally nothing about poker strategy
It's a tricky hand to play. Often see higher cards hit the board, and people tend to overestimate the strength of their pocket JJ.

Even in you don't overestimate the power of JJ, you still get in to tricky spots. That's why I'm now at the point where I just shove, UTG to the button and in between I just shove. I've come to the conclusion it's a hand to steal blinds with, and nothing more.

FUCK JACKS

To win JJ, you need to pretend to have AA.
Simply mutter one of the known nicknames for AA and grin like a mad man.

That is, if you're playing poker properly, with real people on a table.
