Default Re: the merits of J 10 preflop

If the game is fairly passive, I'll limp from MP with it. In LP, I'll raise first-in or limp after limpers. I really don't like playing it from EP, and I generally don't like entering a pot first unless I raise (though there are exceptions).

Being suited only adds about 7% overall equity to a hand that, when you flop top pair, can be seriously dominated, and when you flop 2 pair is extremely vulnerable to draws.

JTs may be the most over-rated hand in HE. If you never played it outside the blinds and 2 or less off the button after multiple limpers, you would not be giving up very much EV.
