hand 5 - "How good is your Limit Holdem?"

[kiddo]

In hand 5 in his book "How good is your Limit Holdem?" Jacobs asks this question:

If u are first in on the button, which hand do u prefer:

1) A8o
2) QJo

This was easy for me, but when I looked at the answer he totally disagreed. I was just about to mail him telling him he did a serious misstake but before that I looked in Pokertracker at my last 170K hands to see just how big misstake it was. To my surprise he was right.

Which hand do you prefer?
