Let's say he continues with JJ+ and AK. If both of your cards are below jack, there are 40 possible combos. (6 of each pair and 16 of AK)
If you got A5, possibles combos of AA goes from 6 to 3 and AK goes from 16 to 12. Which make a total of 33 possible combos of JJ+ AK.
this diminution of combos increase your fold equity, and also increase the chance that your ace is live (not dominated) when called
