There are many speculations about this hand. Some people love it while others hate it. Some people play it wrong while others seem to play it right. But why are people scared of this hand? Why do people overplay this hand? What is the right way to play it?
Let me propose a theory. There are 52 cards in a deck, 2,598,560 different possible 5 card hands and 15 possible hands (unregarding suit) namely AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22, AK and AQ. At a regular 9-man table there is a 1 in 9 chance that your opponent has one of these 15 hands. Would Ace-Jack then be considered a terrible hand compared to the other 154 starting hand combinations or would it be considered gold? What is your opinion and how would you play it given a scenario?
