JJ I would rather go in with a made hand than hope for a draw

I'd prefer JJ, but I'm pushing with either of them on an unraised pot.

Same.

I'm also restealing in a raised pot, and probably calling a push with either, with rare (situation-dependent) exception.

Since the blind levels are very high, and you state your 'M' is low, you don't just push here, you shove (all in) here with either hand, and several more down the line as well!

But you asked for a comfort level decision here, and I'll take the AK. WHY? glad you asked! With AK, I know I have to hit, and am prepared for not hitting. With JJ I have to pray any caller doesn't hit, and am still maintaining a glimmer of hope. But since there is no right way to play JJ I know that hope is likely to get crushed.

Agreeing w/ most of you I'd say JJ also. Altough lately high PP's have hurt me. 5 mins ago I lost AA to 10 J and I went all in preflop after raises and reraises back and forth. (Sighs)

draw and made hand don't matter. I've been over this but basically all that matters is your equity. But I do agree, mainly because the only hands AK is better than JJ against is Ax, Kx, KK, QQ. So AK beats more hands, but we are expecting a call and JJ dominates every hand with 2 cards below J while AK is only a slight favorite (compared to JJ) against any hand.
