They call pocket jacks “Fishhooks” because of the shape of the letter J, but their shortened nickname of “Hooks” can be appropriate for another reason – they can sink their barbs into you and not let go, even when you shouldn’t be playing them.
They are a very tricky hand to play in No Limit Texas Hold’em. A very powerful hand, they become devastatingly seductive every when a player should know that they are beat.

Fishooks – a tough hand to love.
