No Good Way to Play JJ (9 Viewers)

[soccerdadof3]

Playing $1/$3 at casino and have been grinding for 4-5 hours. Bought in for $300 and sitting on around $550. Get pocket JsJc on button. MP raises to $15, one call I raise to $40, BB raises to $100 and original raiser calls. I call. Pot around $320

Flop is 7c, Jh, 3d. BB bets $150 MP folds. Pot is $470..BB has been on a heater and has me easily covered..

I shove my remaining $450 and he calls. Turn is 6h river As..he turns over AA..

I Hate Pocket JJ's!!!

No reason to shove the flop, flat to keep villain's bluffs in and get the money in on the turn.

I agree but also don't think the hand ends any other way.

Throw your cards and chips at the dealer.

I agree..I could have waited until the turn to shove. But I think the end result is the same in this hand.

The cards just don't seem to understand statistics...

At least I was still on my first buy in..

Overheard from a dealer at a poker table at one of the local tribal casinos a few years into the poker boom:

"Jacks are just colorful elevens."

Getting all your money in as a 95% favorite seems like a decent way to play the hand?
