That's the key. While you don't know that he has jacks, in reality that's exactly what he has, and should play the hand accordingly. Also, when the ace-queen calls the reraise, the player with jacks will be afraid that he is against a hand better than ace-queen -- of course this can be very player dependent.

Mason,

Your NL inexperience is showing through here. In reality what he has is postition and last aggression, and will often play the hand accordingly. That is more of a key than the fact that he happens to have JJ in his hand. Most players will most definitely think they have the best hand and play accordingly. The JJ reraiser is usually not going to be worried about his opponent having a stronger hand. It is the AQ who will often be more worried about the fact that his opponent may well have him dominated w/ QQ-AA or AK.
