Re: Analysis

Your response is so off-base I won't even bother to actually address it. Here's a hint: Figure out what the question that is being posed asks (hint 2: both Mason and I have stated what this question is), since you don't even have that right.

There is a lot of wiggle room in answering the original question as to what hand is better AQ or JJ? It depends at what point in time you are analyzing the problem at and in this case it is right as JJ made it $150 to go. So, as far as I am concerned the question is would you rather be making it $150 to go as JJ or calling $110 as AQ? The answer is based on expected moves and EV it turns out to be AQ.
I do not care what you are Mason think the question is, this is my interpretation based on his original post. If the $110 call versus the $150 reraise were not important considerations why not just ask what hand is better AQ or JJ and speculate on what the preflop action should be? Because the preflop action was spelled out it must be made part of the comparison.
What if we said JJ raised $40 and AQ mucked, what hand is better? You would have a differant answer. In fact JJ would be better EV = 10 versus -11 for AQ!
So the question is not whether AQ is better than JJ, it is whether AQ is better than JJ given the action. So you see, it really "depends". For a bunch of so called poker pros who sit around answering newbies posts with "it depends" I am suprised you don't get this!
