An Ace with a Queen, or Jack, is a playable hand from early position. You have a strong kicker if there is an Ace on the flop or you have a big pair with the best kicker if a Queen or a Jack should flop. When these cards are suited you will have the added potential for making a flush. If, however, the pot is raised ahead of you, and you have an unsuited Ace-Jack, you may be in for trouble as a player raising from early position may have a big pair. You have to consider who is doing the raising.
