Pondering Pocket Jacks
Many Texas Hold’em players hate getting dealt two jacks because they feel they’re unlucky with them. Well, chances are, it isn’t that they’re unlucky with these cards. They’re simply over-valuing the hand and misplaying it.In Hold’em, the best hands you can get are A-A, K-K, Q-Q, and then J-J. However, there is a significant difference between the strength of the jacks and the queens. With queens, there are only two overcards cards higher than a queen that could hit on the flop and make Q-Q
