NOTE: He HAS to have top pair for this to be valid, we are not talking about any other possible hand OTHER than top pair here. Thus 60% of the time WHEN HE CALLS WITH TOP PAIR he will be ahead. 40% of the time WHEN HE CALLS WITH TOP PAIR we will be ahead.
The exact odds are 55.3% and 44.7% not 60:40
Its just simple mathematical fact, but as said, neverthefknless, gl!
The maths in here is absolutely correct. However it is pointless given there are so many other factors to consider. There are so many more scenarios where we will stack villain (and vice versa, but not so many). 60% of the time, an overcard will flop, but villain will have to pair that very card, not just simply have A,K,Q X. We are unlucky if Q5 gets it in on a Q86r flop against us - I'm certainly not saying there are some outcomes we won't regret. But looking at the bigger picture, by NOT ending the hand here, we allow ourselves to utilise our edge over the field EVEN MORE, which can't be bad.
In answer to your question, yeah, there's definitely some merit into simplifying situations by jamming. The hand ends there, you don't have to worry about it, and you can focus on other tables. Some people would says this means you're playing too many tables... but of course I don't know what your volume / stake / # tables situation is.
I think there's just been a huge misunderstanding in this thread. What mckrogh is saying is correct. The chances of villain having QX AND a Q high flop + KX AND a K high flop + AX AND an A high flop is rather low. This is the reason why our JJ still plays so strong. Remember TT+, AQ+ most likely 3bet pre, so villain will be likely to have just one overcard to our JJ.
Still.... at least noone's trying to reason a -EV play here....
