Default Re: hand 5 - \"How good is your Limit Holdem?\"

QJ by a good deal. You may win more hands with A8 but you will win bigger pots with QJ since you have 2 chances for top pair versus basically one.

Also, if an Ace flops and you arent reraised preflop you can often take down the hand on the flop.

Additionally, with QJ you will tend to know where you preflop better as well. Assuming you will raise either hand on the button, many good players will 3-bet with any ace.

If you think you are up against an ace, QJ is much easier to play than A8.
