Of course AQ is better than JJ, its a simple EV calculation.

2/3 of the time you miss the flop and you are done. EV = 2/3 * -150 = -100

1/3 of the time you hit the flop and JJ bets out $225 on average (between 1/2 and full pot) and you raise. Does he fold 100% of the time? Lets simplify things and say he does, then EV = 1/3 * ($150 + $225) = 125.

So, in this example AQ has an EV of plus 25.
