The folded cards actually make no difference here since each player acted without knowledge of the folded cards.

Of course the cards matter. They DO have knowledge of the folded cards. They know they weren't very strong. For example, there is a greater probability that non-aces got dealt back into the deck. This benefits the QQ hand. The Ax hand has a valid gripe here, as his hand is now slightly weaker. Not sure what can be done about it though.

How do you know first 3 players didn't fold Ace-rag? or somebody folding Q, rag? Unless you ask you can't. Sure the probability is greater that players received cards other than an Ace (or Queen) but it's irrelevent to this discussion.

Bottom line - There has been substantial enough action to warrant the continuation of this hand. Deal out the board.
