I was just going to ask the same thing. You claimed to make a statement and said other players in the game were bad because they believed the opposite. What is your position and how are you backing it?

Yes, please do this, Mason. If I were you, I would either:
(1) Call - demonstrate E[AQs] > E[JJ] in some reasonable fashion or
(2) Fold - admitting you are wrong and cutting your losses.
I'm not saying either of these actions is necessarily right for you.
To me it seems you are reraising with air - refusing to admit you're wrong and getting around demonstrating E[AQs] > E[JJ] by refusing to entertain arguments around it. It's very nice to see that you're responding to so many people, but I for one cannot see where you have addressed this point.
If you are attempting a proof by verbosity (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_verbosity), I don't accept it as valid. If you're not, please set me straight.
In my opinion, your reasoning as to E[AQs] > 0 may or may not be valid, but by itself does not show that E[AQs] > E[JJ].
In fact, as others have pointed out, since your reasoning shows E[AQs] < half-of-money-in-pot, I draw the conclusion that E[AQs] < E[JJ].
Thank you.
