Default Re: 8/b: (TT)Q - playable?

ok, agreed that tens and jacks should be folded unless opening in last position or in other rare circumstances .. but could somebody tell me the advantage of split kings vs buried queens with a baby - i think the hands run close in value, however I prefer the a,qq or 5,qq to the split kings.

Of course the higher the pair the better, but you're usually fighting off aces in 8/b anyway, when the low draw hits a live one and you fold early in the hand .. speaking of which I've found that when I fold the high hand to live aces, suited baby connectors, and baby door pairs on 4th street, I can expect a plethora of bluffs headed my way, therefore, I'm forced to make more calls here than I'd wish, and occasionally get burned because of it - however I feel like I'd lose more money the other way - any sugesstions, thoughts etc.
