Re: Player Discussion
Of course you want the jacks. Jacks are far more valuable than AQs. Any pair beats any other preflop holding by a mile within a very broad range of stack sizes and playing styles. Here if your assumption holds that the out-of-position player will play jacks better postflop b/c he will be forced to fold for a small postflop bet less, jacks are waayyy better than AQs.
No limit is annoying to discuss because it is so heuristic, and this question suffers from that problem. In general with random opponents, jacks are significantly better. However, if I or any other relatively aggressive player is the player with position, JJ could end up costing the out-of-position player more than AQs. The reason is I am likely to resteal from you if you give off any weakness, and my only question before putting you to the test on most boards will be "did he flop a set?"
