Playing Ace Jack can win you lots of money but there are a
few things that you have to watch. Ace Jack is far from being a pat
hand and is even more shaky tha Ace Queen because you have a strong
probability that you will not flop a Jack before you flop a queen. If
you have to call three bets cold with an Ace Jack throw the hand away
and save your money.
If you do hit the flop all that you are going to have is a pair of
aces or a pair of jacka and those boys who bet ahead of you are not
all bluffing. All of these hands I call the Black Jack handsbecause
they all add up to 20 or 21. Ace King,Ace Queen,Ace Jack,Ace Ten,King
Queen, King Jack, King Ten, Queen Jack, Queen Ten, and Jack Ten.
Pocket dueces will beat them everytime. I know that they give you a
psychological charge if you have been playing as you should, a couple
of hands an hour, and throwing away the garbage hands. Contrary to
all the odds, they can look like sure winners, if all that you have
been looking at are hands like 3/9 or Jack/Six off suit. Beat down
your excitement with thoughts of humiliating defeat and poverty and
chuck the Ace/Jack into the muck pile if you can'y just limp into the
pot.
