pretend im mason
Dearest Masked Man,
It (the reason to prefer AQs to JJ) obviously has to do with fold equity, which noone has spoken about yet in this thread
think about it, almost everyone here in the forum is talking about playing JJ for set value, and how JJ is more likely to stack AQs than vice versa, due to the implied odds of a set v top pair
however, AQs will flop many draws and will hopefully be playing these draws fast to get JJ off a marginal overpair. AQs can also represent a King without the mindset of having a showable hand, its just A high so why not bluff the King?
i find the more aggressively im playing the more i would rather have a hand that flops draws than a hand that has to hit a monster to play a big pot. obviously this is so i get paid off on the occassional monster, but for this to happen it REQUIRES i play an aggressive style which forces my opponent to make hard decisions, which a player holding JJ will often be making
Kindest Regards,
His Grand Poobahness
