In Australia we call JTss the 'Greek flag'. It is a very powerful hand in the Manila variant of poker - which is popular with Greeks - and thus extremely popular in holdem also. Note that every two card straight it makes is the nuts.
- mod 12y agoNote that it's rarely worth playing in a raised NLHE pot. I know it's good when it's good, but it can be easy to read, it splits a lot of the pots because the board goes four paint or whatever, it gets tricked into dumping money with top pair no kicker, etc. Plenty of guys are flatting two raises OOP and hoping to hit a flop and that's a recipe for dumping chips. It's a great hand to play anytime 76s would be a great hand.
