I will sometimes fold AQ, and usually AJ to these largish EP raises, as they more often indicate a hand Im dominated by, unless of course the guy's LAGgy. Usually, though, Im calling this in a tourney. Hands as nice as AQ dont come around too often. As for the JJ hand, thats a peculiarly large raise, would be nice to know something about the player. I probably call most of the time (b/c its such a weird way to play a bigger pair), but if I'd noticed the guy to be unusually tight I may fold.
