Can someone please have a look at the link and tell me your thoughts on they way I played these two JJ hands. I have been crushed today by weaker pocket pairs when I had JJ, AA and KK. Do you think it's worth it going all in with any of these hands? At the end of the day any call is a race right? Maybe best to just call/fold and avoid the gamble.
Much appreciated!
