Re: Player Discussion
Just to remind everyone what the question was in the first place:
[ QUOTE ]
What happen was that a player raised to $40 and then got reraised to $150. The original raiser then folded and showed AQ. His opponent then showed JJ.
This of course started a discussion as to which hand was better. Most of the table agreed that the pair of jacks were better since they would win over 50 percent of the time in a show down. Then someone said, "Let's ask Mason since he writes all the books." 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.
Well, no one understood what I was talking about. No wonder the games are good.

And clarification from Mason re: what the question is:
[ QUOTE ]
The question is regardless as to whether it is right or wrong to call the raise, if you do go ahead and call it, which hand would you now rather have. (Of course in reality if you hold the ace-queen you don't know that your opponent holds precisely jacks and vice-versa.)

Mason, you are just plain wrong in your assertion that the answer to this question is AQs (using YOUR assumptions, which I believe are nowhere close to correct, but that is beside the point). I have tried multiple times in this thread to explain where you got confused, but you seem to refuse to even attempt to understand where you went wrong in your logic. It is very dissappointing to me to see such advice so vehemently and arrogantly defended by 2+2.
