Its a tough hand to play because we tend to overvalue it.

Preflop, if you (or your main opponent) are not short-stacked, getting all-in preflop is thin +EV/high variance. If you don't have enough in front of you to maneuver postflop, then getting it all in the middle preflop is optimal.

If you do have a reasonable stack, try to isolate, but if you can't - try to keep the pot small.

Postflop, your play is dependent on position, number(and tendencies of) of oppoenents and flop texture. If 2 of the 3 are not favorable, don't CB and prepare to cut your losses right there.
