25-50 -- this can't be right

reeeeeraise preflop. i know your out of position but make your oponent hit his hand on the flop. you need to take control of the hand PREFLOP.

I'm afraid that my opponent's definition of "hitting" his hand may be too broad to warrant a reraise with a marginal holding here. If I reraise and he calls (which will be very often), I am going to be firing a grand into the pot OOP on the flop with A high very often. I don't mind this sort of play with 99, TT against an aggro, but it can get pretty expensive with A high and not a huge amount of fold equity.

but the real question is: would you rather reraise preflop with JJ or with AQs?

well-played. I'm sure El D and MM broke out in hives thinking about this very question.

Did you consider check/raising the turn?

Because it's the only point where I would consider playing this hand differently?
