    intressting! Im leaning in the other direktion! AK will make a pair about 30 % of the time at the flop... the other 70 % you have to rep something with highcard out of position. With JJ you will have a overpair at the flop about 50 % of the time and even with a queen you can try to play it quite strong! I actually limp/call a small raise from UTG with AK and I raise with Jacks, is this flawed thinking?

    raise and reraise JJ and AK... especially when the others are loose.
    how can you limp with JJ iwa??? JJ is not the hand to slowplay...

    Both hands are g00t, but I kinda want to avoid going all in without at least top two pair. I am generally happy to buy the blinds with JJ - better if there are a few limpers as well. AK ... given that it's loose, and the blinds are small, I want to throw out about 5xBB try to limit the field a little. Always throw out at least some kind of continuation bet...

    In both cases, you have to be willing to lay down post flop to serious strength - which is why I'm happy to take a small pot with them preflop

    I dont limp with JJ to slow play the hand... At lower blind levels on a loose table, I am limping to disguise the value of the hand. The only worth of this hand is to limp to set and as an overpair. Personally, I don't like to force action, especially at a loose table because you will end out bleeding chips when you get call downs. As far as AK, I bet it out because it is a preferance of mine.
