QQ lost me my big stack big style to a KJs call who hit K on the flop last night on final table over BH - also had a run couple of months back where i had aces busted about 6 times running.
For all the problems with jj or qq give me them over 2s 3s or 4s any day! If you get your chips in you're either out or very well placed for rest of tourney
had them 3 times in the first 9 hands in a bounty hunter and was KO'd !!!
No 1.... UTG i raise 4x B/B raise, min re raised, i min raise back, he folds.... a few chips, thats ok
No 2..... S/B, no callers i raise 4x B/B, B/B folds.... ggrrrr
No3...... the very next hand on my B/B.... no callers to S/B, he raises 8x B/B, i min raises, he pushes all in, at last some action, i call... he turns over 5 5, happy days, untill the flop drops a 5 and he kills me off with a full house.
I like pocket J's or in fact any pockets, even 2's.
If I get re-raised pre-flop with a pocket pair, I simply consider my odds then and considider if I should re-raise or call, (not a problem for me).
I hate getting something like K,10 or K,J or Q,10 sometimes. (Sometimes It can be very good, especially if you hit)
But I hate it sometimne because with hands like these I feel obliged to call or act with them. Now, this has led to me busting out many times acting on hands like these.
