Re: Is it better just to get rid of this preflop?

It depends on the specific players ranges. In general I`d much rather have AK than JJ in this spot and am rather confused that others like JJ more.

The problem with AK is if you flop TPTK with the K (and sometimes with an A), you have to go broke and someone will often have Aces or say, if the flop is A T 3, set of Tens will get your stack as it's pretty hard to get away...With Jacks it's easy to break an overpair if you flop a set obv and you can also get away if villain shows aggression on several streets or there are overcards.
At least, that's why i prefer having jacks there...
