Yuck. "JJ is not the nuts, JJ is not the nuts, JJ is not the nuts."

Neither is KK or QQ or AK. You don't win tournaments by sitting around waiting for the nuts. A double up is huge here.

I agree completely, but facing a raise JJ is significantly worse than KK, and more than a little worse than QQ. If we put the EP raiser on a pretty tight range, there are eighteen combinations that have us crushed (AA-QQ), and twenty-four with which we are a coin-flip (AK-AQ), and a few more that we have crushed (AJ, 99-TT). Compare these numbers with QQ, KK and AK.
Just my two cents, but I think JJ is a whole lot closer to TT than QQ.
