Quite an interesting result. I certainly didn't expect the 3456s to be a "better" hand.

One reason why I would much prefer a 9TJK over a 3456 is that the 9TJK is much easier to play. As soon as the flop comes you can quite easily judge whether you want to continue or not.

With a 3456 the only flop I'm going to be happy with is A2x. Even another good flop (I think the flop in the hand in question was 236?) is going to be hard to play.
