Guess I haven't reached that level of sophistication yet, Rex!It depends
on
- chip stack
- blinds
- tourney or cash
- MTT or SnG
- aggressiveness/passivity of those behind
- structure of payout and proximity of bubble
- position at the table
- limpers or raises ahead
But assuming I'm under the gun at a tourney first hand, then AK because I wouldn't be looking to get my stack in with either and AK plays better post flop.
Interesting. I've had another (closer) look at my PT stats for AK vs JJ. JJ is showing 0.69 BB/100 compared to 0.61 for AK. Interestingly, I've found that I have noticeably less hands were I lose a significant amount with JJ than I do when play AK. Maybe I'm over playing / over valuing AK, or maybe I just fold JJ more readily when there are overcards on the flop.
I think I need to replay some of my AK hands in PT to see what went wrong.

I was gonna suggest to you Bolt to chk the bb/100 or even bb/hand.
JJ wins 1.59bb/hand for me whilst AKo and AKs wins 0.37 and 0.31 respectively. so deffo I prefer JJ over AK. In fact 44, 66 and 99 all win me more than AK .
Heads up I like JJ vs AK. Multiway pot AK.
Interesting comparison jag. I'm guessing here that you favour NL, whereas my figures are based entirely on FL. Even so, I'm a little surprised that JJ is so dramatically more profitable for you than it is for me. Maybe you are just a better player than I am
