Pocket Jacks.... the hand that looks nice but everyone hates to play it. Jacks are just one of those hands where you always find yourself getting in trouble.
With Jacks I would recommend getting extra aggressive preflop. Try raising 4 or 5 times the big blind instead of 3. Raising to a larger amount will put more pressure on your opponents to fold a hand like KQ which they would normally call for 3 times the big blind.
When you raise with Jacks and get called your opponents most likely have face cards higher than jacks. If the flop comes anything above a jack there's a very good chance you're beat so I wouldn't try to bluff too often in this situation. Be extra aggressive preflop to avoid the flop. This doesn't mean you should treat your jacks like aces though. If there's a preflop raise and then a re-raise before it's your turn to act don't be afraid to fold the hand.
