JJ and AK both hurt me a lot.

In online poker JJ is probably a pretty annoying hand to play with, they look good but aren't actually good and should probably just be treated like TT.In live poker where there's more fishy AJs is super troublesome. You open your range against fishes that play Ax, K7s+,etc. and next thing you know an A comes on the flop suddently fishes raises your bet....
I think there is some falws in this thinking. If we have an aggro fish and he c/raises A26 then it is very different to a really passive fish raising a89.
Similarly to JJ, I don't see where the problem comes from everybody hating them, if we plays vs our opponents range and with reads on their aggression factor we should still be able to make +ev decisions that we are happy about.
Also getting JJ in pre vs maniacs and/or aggro regs is something I enjoy too.
I think if there is a problem with any pocket pair then it is probably 9's as its very borderline value/get all in OR set-mine in close spots.
it is pretty much exactly my POV. The only thing (maybe) is that I would say that for me 99 is more on the good cards type of range (similar to JJ or TT) and I would say the difficulty is more with 77-88 but they are not really good hands so and the difference might also be because of HU play... IMO good hands are easy to play and great to have.

Tell me about it!!!! I just got it allin preflop with a fish with J9o and i think its time for a beer 
...and that reminds me roopopper,
I hate the hand that has to buy the beer round if it's mine!
AQ definietly. Either it's cursed for me, or I am scared of it, but seems like I never won a pot with it. I've started folding it with no raise behind me. And I feel much better!
Every time I miss the flop, I lose the money I already invested. Every time I hit, I lose even more.
CURSED!
2's to 7's piss me off since there are usually over cards on the flop making ur hand useless
