Re: J10s favored over pocket pair???
[ QUOTE ]
But 33 wins more against a random hand than JTs does. So you should prefer that heads-up.

How do you get from A to B here? Random hands aren't what people play, and pots aren't taken to the river a good percentage of the time. As I said in my last edit, I misunderstood your first post, but this one I completely understand. It is wrong.
You should prefer the hand that is most profitable for you, and that calculation must include a number of different factors. Generally one of the least important factors to consider is which hand is favored against a random hand. Still, if you are in the blinds heads-up, random hands do become more important.
In most heads-up pots, I'll take JTs over 33. You are almost always in a much trickier situation when you play 33 heads-up, and that leads to mistakes. Mistakes cost money.
