My answer was that if someone was all-in, the jacks would be better, but if they each had chips left, which was the case here, the ace-queen suited was better.

How did this thread become so convoluted?
It's pretty clear to me that the original discussion at the table was intended as a simple discourse on implied odds.
The implication was that even though AQs is a slight dog preflop, it has implied odds if it flops a pair or ends up making a flush.
Unfortunately, all the experienced NL players say that the implied odds really reside with JJ because it can flop a set which is much more likely to be paid off.
The subsequent repeated redefining of the problem strikes me as bull****.

Excuse me it seems like you are too smart to post here. This board is only for cynical poker pros who can't grasp a simple concept and refuse to try and understand.
The question is, Would you rather be reraising $150 with JJ or calling $110 as AQ given the fact that JJ acts first after the flop and makes a continuation bet of 3/4 of the pot?
AQ has a higher EV than JJ in this case, but this is not saying its a better hand!! It says given the amount of the reraise over the original bet and the fact JJ makes a continuation bet out of position AQ is a better hand.
