    Prolly this.

    Two jacks on board instead of just one reduces the probability that someone else has a J by 33.33% (probably less than that vs. two opponents). It may be mathematically a -EV move to continue with AA in this situation (I really haven't run the numbers) but I'll take that extra 33.33% and at least see the turn.

    Yeah, hadn't really considered this point. Makes it seem more likely that either of them could have been limp/calling preflop with small pairs and then taking the chance no one had a jack or over pair.

    For the record, the turn came another Jack and UTG bet 1/2 pot and MP2 folded. Hindsight is a beautiful thing but that 1/2 psb had me thinking he was desperate for a call. I'll never know though.
