    Never trust Jacks. J-10, AJ, JJ. It doesn't matter. Especially in an RNG game, where 85% of the hands are decided on the river.

    I've seen players raise under the gun with AJ. In a real card game, you should have at least AJ suited to do that.

    You can raise modestly before the flop with JJ, but unless you flop a set, it's pretty much over. You could end up risking a large percentage of your bankroll against a 10.8% chance of making a set by the river.

    Pre-flop: Raise in the standard way, taking into account your position and the dynamics of the table. On a raise, be selective with your decision to re-raise or call.
    Flop: On a favorable flop, bet aggressively to extract value. On a flop with overcards, be more cautious and control the pot size. If the flop is dangerous, don't hesitate to give up the hand if you think you're behind.
    Overall: JJ can be a very strong hand, but they require good table reading and pot size management to avoid the pitfalls.
    In short, even though this hand often seems to be beaten by a Queen, King or As, it's still possible to maximize its value by playing wisely, taking position into account and reacting judiciously to the flop.
