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.
