the point of raising is to get to showdown fairly cheaply - we are not planning to bet most rivers but to take what value we can from Ax which I agree aren't folding. while denying equity to hands that can't call a raise
I think calling QT is also fine and I wouldn't raise if I thought either V was likely to bluff this spot
But the point is that V's can't assume that we are nutted when we raise here. ( and they can't assume we are folding unsuited J9 QT pre - I don't think it;s bad to expand an overlimping range on a passive table ) I think flatting the nuts loses so much value here and generally.
