Default Re: 78 best suited connector?

JT is the best suited connector, because every straight it makes is the nut straight.

In addition it has SOME high card value. A lone pair of jacks or tens will hold up way more often than a lone pair of 8's.

True you could very well be likely up against AJ/AT or KJ or something like that and be dominated, but domination is only really terrible in a short handed pot, and 87s and JTs are multiway hands anyway.

Basically I'd rather take my chances with a pair of jacks with the threat of domination than a pair of 8's with little threat of domination. The plethora of high card threat is worse than the domination threat.

Edit: Oh apparently you meant non-broadway and techically JT is still broadway so nevermind.
