What hand

[GloBug]

Id have the 55% favourite.

That being the pair.

If you dont choose this option you need murdering by pandas!

i would agree with u but i have bad luck playing jj vs a AK. but percentage wise u should want the JJ.

55%-45% isnt that much of a favorite buddy, it can go either way, hence why people shove and call with both hands...i think if you really want to get down to it, read the rest of the people at the table...if you get 6 callers, and one guy shoves, id say ur JJ is probably goodif the rest fold cuz youd have to think that atleast 2 of those people have high cards...aka, they have some of the AK's outs...

WTF?

5% is alot.

Means over 1,000 races, youll win more than you lose! Simple math!

I would certainly take JJ, Although like a lot of people are saying.. I seem to catch the worst luck when I'm ahead.

well thats over a 1000 races. not trying to race that much. this is for 1 hand only.

For one hand only i still take the 5% bonus with open arms!

[kingsnthahole]

yes and thats cool, but the fact of the matter is 5% out of 100% is NOT ALOT
i would probably take either hand bc i feel they are equally as good, thats why they call it a coin flip...
from my experiences, i would take AK over JJ preflop anyday bc JJ is usually a one dimensional hand, AK is a drawing hand and i really like it, but i know how to not overplay it...i'd have to say i like AK maybe better than QQ even...thats just my preference and it fits my style...

i know your a respected poker play eej and AK may just not fit your style
