How to play JJ 

I find it hilarious that so many people treat JJ like pocket 2s, but the same people treat pocket 10s like AA.

4:30 "i've been doing pretty well actually" His indicator says he's down 77 bucks playing .25/.50. I love this video. Really cheered me up.

just love how optimistically he starts each clip!

"Can't Win with em, Can't win against em, can't fold em." -Pocket Jacks

when i get JJ in live poker, im like YESSSSS.... when i get JJ in online poker im like AHH SHIITTTTTTTT....

Absolutely the funniest instructional video I've ever seen. I couldn't make it through the first half without stopping to wipe my tears. You had me at the 1st F-bomb.

i laughed and laughed, great vid mate

not only that this is the BEST instructional poker video i have ever seen, its also one of the greatest youtube videos i've ever seen. GREAT JOB M8!!! couldnt stop laughin all the way...

Variance means you lose with pocket jacks every single hand...................

Man, this shit cracked me up! I was thinking, "yeah this will be some good information", then I was rolling on the floor laughing!!!

Brilliant. My third time coming back, and it's still funny. This vid has become my calming tool after a rough day of ugly beats.

This is probably the greatest video I have ever watched. Clearly shows how "easy" JJ is to play

Great video - one of the funniest ever for poker players. I started spreading word of this vid. about 3 or 4 weeks ago at Betonline poker games. Viewer numbers have exploded (maybe doubled?... in a few weeks).

Absolutely hilarious Marty! I've not laughed so much in a long long time! Brilliant self-parody! You are a comic genius.

@DevDabbara Thanks. This video is still going strong. I'm glad my pain was this entertaining, for this long. So many times now when I lose a hand, I just think to myself..."Well at least I got it recorded for a video".

Sad in away to watch so many fall victim ... But brought tears to my eyes from your comments... My Jacks never do very well either and after watching your video think I will panic and remember this video and just fold my next set of J's :)

limping JJ in middle position - donk city.

i love this! i seen it years ago and i just remembered about half way thourgh haha i was like whys this sound familiar lmaoooo

dude, Ive been around on RU-vid for around 5 years and this is my first comment ever - this video made my lol. and im not at all the guy who laughs at random things. thank you for the humor!

The one thing missing was flopping a set of Jacks to get called by the gut shot broadway draw of an A 10 that hits.

this had me laughing for a good 10 minutes. Soo true about Jacks

Was in a sit and go with 3 people left and wound up all in heads up with pocket 9's vs. someone else's pocket jacks. Flopped quad 9's. Was hilarious.

Happened again. Same thing. On the bubble, seen so many 8-3s this game it's unreal. Total maniac wielding the big stack, calls an all in with Q-7o. Hits a Queen on the turn. So sick.

Now I know how to play JJ. Thanks buddy. BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!! .

..Dominated..

I have never seen a funnier instructional video I almost peed my pants

Best analysis of how to play pocket jacks ever. You can tell this guy loves to get jacks.

i had JJ and 500 dollars... it was 3 10 10 on the flop, 4 on the turn, the pot is 50 dollars, i go all in, An idiot calls with 4 Q, he gets a Queen on the river, i lose 500 dollars, the end. :(

lmao

Amazing how most people who comment this video dont seem to understand it. Guess they think this dude is serious. people comment on your play trying to be pros even though most of them probably have no idea about poker whatsoever.. Good video dude, enjoyed it! :)

It took my stress away. Thank you, sir.

nice video .... hope see your 72 videos on stars ... maybe u can win 2 hands ;) lolololol online poker is rigged!

ok dude...i got the lesson: DONT EVER PLAY POCKET JACKS!............;)

play it like any other small pair. If a good flop doesn't come and you're getting heavy pressure just throw it away, it's usually junk. qq is the only grey area really between going all in or plaything to see the flop. kk and aa is easy try to get everyone in preflop or shove on the flop

The main reason they're tough is that if you hit any overcards, there's every chance you're behind, especially if there have been any preflop raises (which there almost surely would have been). While I'm certainly no expert, I'll either go all-in preflop (if my opponents haven't indicated a Q+ pair) and at least force whoever calls me to go into coin-flip mode, or if it's cheap enough I'll flat call and hope that either I have the overpair, or I hit a set.

Not how you play J's. Stop limping and 3 bet those raises.

its pokerstars...thats not poker. there's no poker on pokerstars only rigged shit.

Man. This is the funniest video I've seen in a long while. I didn't expect such comedy. Really funny man. Loved it.

i have a broken rib tried to watch this i now have 2 broken ribs! lmao

I don't think I want your advise... LOL

This is the best -- anytime I'm in a bad mood -- just watch this a couple times and it snaps me out. Freaking awesome!

I love tha silence after the board comes or after the opponents showing his cards to a showdown =p

I love this guys comments. This video cracks me up big time. Thanks for sharing

So true! Only been playing Poker less than a month and this has to be the hand that busts me most of the time and the parts with the ace coming up on the river seems to happen so often on Pokerstars!

I always come to see this video when im running bad and tilted . really helps me to get in a good mood

The one at 0:40 is my favorite. Cause you're like "no spades! oh he hits a queen... OH THERES MY JACK! but its a spade...." hahahaha

who the hell would dislike this video? I swear i watch this video like every day and I still get laughs out of it

The first 2 hands I thought to myself "this guys and idiot". It took me 2 more hands before I started laughing my A** off. HAHAHA.. Thanks

By Far one of the best videos I've ever seen. Truly brilliant made me feel so much better hahaha

This video came out on my birthday... I could not imagine a better birthday present hahaha

@wormasd he uses Tournament Indicator or cashgame Indicator.

The most epic poker video ever! Would love to see more of you!

1.30 that 38 offsuit along with that added sound, my stomach hurt from thunderous laughter.:)

seriously, Marty, that IS your best poker video ever! :) no offense, dude! i'm using TI... ;)

short stacked I go all in pre-flop w/ pocket Jacks, I get called by 2 players w/ A 10os and A K suited; I flop a set of Jacks and they flop straight draws w/ a Q on board, they each need the cards that are in each others hand, a K or a 10, 10 hits on the river

the 29 people that disliked this video aparently dont have a sense for humor or dont understand poker... epic video man!! :D

2 off the button is not late position ! Love this guy !! An American hero, love the irony dude

i got a six pack from laughing

Yeah this was hilarious, had me rolling...Actually I find the Queens harder to play than the Jacks, It's really easy for me to get away from Jacks even when they are an over to the board, but the Queens will cost you a bundle when they're beat if you're not careful..I just try to be real aggressive with the Jacks Preflop, then somewhat defensive Post, ready to dump them if my opponent wants to commit a bunch of chips(except when you spike that third Jack of course, then you're golden baby!)

I love these blooper type videos that you do. your rants are hilarious

@roo7227 It's one of the highest EV hands..

Do one with AK. I had AK in the big blind, the button raised, small blind calls, i reraise, button shoves it, small blind calls, i call, they both have AJ, they both hit a full house on the flop, i don't improve, i'm out of the tourney. XD I love this vid, nice job!

I actually just won a tournament (well, on Zynga, where the level of competition is laughable at best) with JJ. So how did I play them in that case? Min-raise preflop (as it was heads up I could have easily been more aggressive, but this opponent would have folded without something amazing). Hit something like 8-10-J. Min-bet, called straight away. Turn, something inconsequential like a 2. Min-bet, call. River, another 10 giving me jacks full. This time I bet 3 BB attempting to get some extra value without scaring him off. My opponent shoves, so I snap call. Turns out he'd hit a straight to Q on the flop So that's how you play them boys and girls. Flop big, river a monster, and hope your opponent has a great hand too. Pretty much, rely on the deck to do all the work for you. :-P

K some of these were pretty bad. But the 3rd one, when the button raised and the BB pushed all in, that should have given you an indicator that he either had a high pair or an Ace with a strong kicker, meaning your hand would be a coinflip in your favor, at best...unless he was bluffing. Your quick call indicated that you most likely thought he was bluffing. Coinflips go both ways. You're going to lose about half of them. Hence the term.

7 years ago I remember watching this when it first came out. Why is this on my recommended list lol?

Great video , sadly although this has got to be a tongue in cheek look at online poker , its funny because its true .The bad beats just keep coming .I hit trip 333 on the flop the other day on PKR .The flop was 38j I was thinking lovely my hand is really hidden.Possible straight or maybe pairs but looking good.The other guy bets big and i think ok stick with you .The turn car is a ten he bets out again and i still think I'm ahead , so i stick with him again. The river turns and its another ten.So now I've got a pretty good disguised hand .He shoves and I'm confused, but i go with it.Hes hit quad 10 .against my full house.I deleted the app from all my devices and really can't see me playing for quite some time .

The way you play JJ is move all in, or fold.. Folding is usually the better play, cause even when you have the best hand, a lot of times a better player will move you off of it.. The hand just doesn't have a lot of value..

it seems like to me every time i go all in with the best hand, the other guy always out draws me with like a 10 5. it makes me angry because its like they will win.

funny video but i dont like what you say about the guy who calls with KQs the first time when its a clear call (and he's actually a favourite to win on that board).

yo this video, ive watched around 20 times and still laugh every time. Probz my favorite video on youtube right now, seriously. Make more

I cried from laughter from the first 30 seconds. Funny vid man.

Anytime I get JJ when I am playing I always hear "ok pocket jacks here guys, middle position".

HERE'S how you play JJ. 1) Raise. Don't hit the flop, bet. If called or raised, check or fold respectively. 2) Re-Raise and raise on the flop. If challenged on the flop, check or fold. TADA!!

this has to be THE greatest video ever made

nice vid. i only feel comfortable with my jacks if i hit a set on the flop. even if there are no overcards i still dont feel great about them. definitely not an easy hand to play.

My eyes are completely guys, I can't stop laughing, and I might not be able to stop before the day is over!

"Alright, maybe pocket Js are tough to play..." ROFLMAO!! Great Vid dude.

Happened again. Same thing. On the bubble, seen so many 8-3s this game it's unreal. There's a total maniac wielding the big stack, I push all in with JJ and he calls with Q-7o. Hits a Queen on the turn. So sick.

This is a classic video for how to play jacks, I laughed the whole way through. This is truly epic! Nice!!

"Have a nice day !!" I LoL'd !!!

Jacks are really a great hand. I win with them more than I lose. The biggest problem I see most players getting is they want to win so much with them, they jump the gun. And just to tell ppl, it's ok to fold jacks preflop. It doesn't make you a bad player if you do.

hahahah lmao, great video to watch after a long session of tough beats and set up hands. One of the funniest ones I've seen. Still trying to find the one where a guy is giving a sitngo tutorial and he's like "ok, in this spot you have to bet 95% of his stack here so if he goes all in you know he has it and you can fold safely"... lol if anyone knows of any other halarious online poker videos like this let me know.. .cheers and gl all

This may just be the best poker video I have ever watched!!!!!!!! Your commentary is so fucking spot on, had me laughing so hard. OH FOR FUCK SUCKS. Request for a how to play AK suited video please.

"My wife didn't like that" hahaha I know the feeling all to well man :P

hahaha, I saw the first two hands fail and was thinking "wtf, doesn't this guy at least pick hands he wins". very entertaining

When a rock or good player shoves from the BB and is not low on BB usually means AA KK....So he calls anyway with JJ...Really loved the ONLY 1 over card theory..lol

dont agree with some the re raising and bets out. often if you think there trying to bluff you call them down is the way to go that way if your right you get there chips and if your wrong u limit your loss. however showing over the top means u get called when your wrong and they get away when your right. only times i think this makes sense is if you dont have a hand yourself, or if you put them on a draw.

Hes playing jacks the way it would work in a live game, but on pokerstars no one ever folds and they almost always get there on the river.

U have a big risk in all pre-flop hands except AA

where do You play? i never get that many pocket jacks in a row....

Im always get hit by the river this is just anoying when ppl wait the river card and get it.

@Ne0x You actually didn't get the satire?

That rollercoaster at 00:49 lol.

for a poker nerd this is possibly the funniest video on the www.

So basically always fold pocket jacks?

can you still play full tilt with real money or no

04:12 "oooh for FUCKS safe!!!" that just came with heart gotta love it xDDDD

This is one of the best Poker Videos !!

Think of this as a funny video to enjoy, not one to critique because you know we ALL make goofy plays sometimes. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Funny shit. I've found myself jammed up with JJ many times too. I found the best way to play them is to hope to flop a set and fold them if overs come out. Same with QQ. Great hands when the blinds are huge and near the bubble and great when you slow play them and flop a set in cash games but far too often players get married to them and over play them.
