You hold J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

3 J's
3 Q's
9 Hearts
8 Open-end strait minus 2 for the hearts = 6 Straits
3 T's

3+3+9+6+3 = 24

2 of hearts isn't an out here so you only have 8 heart outs.
By pairing the board, you've given redraws against all of your hands with any 2 which is why odds are lower for a win than the other hand.
