I love JTs for some reason, I think it is my favorite hand. I am VERY interested in hearing people's win rates with this hand.

ANY straight you make using both cards will always be the nut straight.

i usually dont play it for exactly that reason, most beginners always DO play it.

VERY POWERFUL.

Re: how powerful is J10 suited?
 

JTs makes the most nut straights of any two card holding
and has flush potential. This makes it powerful multiway.
It is also a preflop favorite over small pocket pairs heads up, unlike AKo
J9s is not as good, T flops top pair more often than 9, and its harder to flop straight. When the ace face flops, JTs has a gutshot and sometimes has odds to continue (especially with backdoor flush draw), but J9s usually must fold. Ace high flops generate action.

JTs can crush small kittens with nary an effort. J9s works up a good sweat to accomplish the same.

Not as powerful as the force.

Will you please tell me what other cards flop pairs more often than others, because I would like to start playing those cards.

The likelihood of flopping top pair decreases as the rank of the card decreases. Can't you see that?
