The real reason AQ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is better than JJ is because the former has an Ace of spades which just happens to be Norman Chad's favorite card.
Seriously, on the flop, the AQ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (because it is in early position) has the first opportunity to bet on the flop regardless of what the flop is. Thus, if I was playing this hand I would commit to betting an amount on the flop which is 2/3 of the pot even before I see the flop.
Now take a look at this action from the perspective of the JJ guy.
Flop 1: two or more overcards flop (JJ guy scared)
Flop 2: three small cards flop (JJ confused but could make a highly risky raise to find out where he's at)
Flop 3: there's a small pair on the flop (JJ confused but could make an info raise as well)
In other words, AQ gets to play with less fear and confusion. In this hand AQ is better than JJ because of position. Early position to be exact.

HUH?
First, if this is your take, it doesn't matter what you're holding. if you have Q2o, you can play it the same way. Truly a bizarre post
