Common Issues Playing Pocket Jacks

According to the GTO Wizard video, there are three main issues when it comes to playing pocket jacks:

Raising vs. Facing a Raise

There are various different ways to play pocket jacks, but pre-flop they can easily be boiled down to whether you are raising first-in (RFI) or facing a raise. Obviously these decisions also heavily depend on your stack size, but GTO Wizard offers helpful tips for a variety of stack sizes in both scenarios.

QUIZ: At what stack-depth does JxJx start open-shoving in Chip EV?

Another interesting point is when GTO Wizard look at what you should do with JxJx facing a three-bet. For 200bb stack sizes, there are almost no four-bets, and these only start to become options at 80bb stack, and even then when in certain positions. One of these positions is when the three-bet comes from the big blind since the big blind has a very polarized three-betting range.

Preflop Summary

GTO Wizard stresses that with JxJx, it’s important to play passively while deep. This means that pocket jacks will call a lot when facing a raise, and will rarly re-raise when facing a three-bet.

As stacks become shorter there are a lot more opportunities to three-bet versus a raise, and four-bet jam when stack sizes are around 30bb.

However, players should exercise caution. Jacks has always been a tricky hand, even with extensive study. That means that when approaching the bubble or late-game spots, players should exercise caution.

Be sure to watch the full video for extensive analysis on how to play pocket jacks post-flop. This includes overcard boards, disconnected undercards and spots where we flop a set or full house with pocket jacks.

Answer: 10bb
