JJ Against AQ

Hi,

I played poker last night with some friends. At some point of the game an argument came up. First I said that a pair of jacks is a better starting hand than A/Q. A friend of mine then said that A/Q has a higher winning percentage than the pair of jacks. Who do you think is right?

Thanks in advance!

All the best,
Franco
Franco,

Pocket jacks are a 54% to 46% favorite when the A-Q is suited. It changes to 57% to 4% when the A-Q is unsuited. The Jacks are the better hand, but your still nearly a coinflip to win.
