Who has time to read through 398 posts but here are my two cents:

Malmuth, you're way off base. I don't care about the math: it's the wrong way to look at it! You have to consider so many other things than you are in your analysis. For example, Caro's law of loose wiring, position, bluffing, not to mention the gross assumption that AQ KNOWS that he's facing JJ. The problem with calling in this situation with AQs is that you're just too often dominated, or facing a big pair that puts you in a lot of trouble. But let's be more serious: what if the JJ guy actually has AQ as well and is being unusually agro with it? What happens when the flop misses AQs entirely and JJ guy (who now has AQ too) puts in a continuation bet? You fold. You have to consider NL in a way entirely different from the super-mathematical world of limit, and you're approach to the problem is irrelevant...sorry.
