J2o or T9s HU?

Which hand do you prefer HU? I always thought T9s was better by far but I'm starting to doubt that.

T9s HU against a random hand: 54:46
J2o HU against a random hand: 44:55

A clear preference.

T9s is a hand that will win a lot more money than J2o because T9s can make one of two decent sized pairs while J2o only can make one decent pair and even then with a crappy kicker. T9s also makes more straights and flushes which often win bigger than average sized pots (even HU) and you will often be able to semibluff those flush and straight draws and win without a fight. T9 soooooted!!

It's a little closer call but I'll even take T9o over J2s. T9s over J2o isn't even close.

Cool program, just checked it out.

I get different results for this situation though:
Tc9c vs. Js 2h
49.225% / 50.775%

Depends who is acting first, I think. Plus instead of choosing 2 specific hands click the "2 card" tab (after clicking "Player 1" etc.) and you can choose J2o and T9s generically.
