It depends, what is my position, how many opponents and are they loose/tight preflop and postflop?

Heads up I want QTo, multiway I think I want JTo. I really only want to play them for a single bet preflop, hopefully I have position and can anticipate action post flop if I hit my hand.

QJo is much better. people *greatly* overvalue the "makes more straights" feature of JT. i'll take "makes a stronger TP with a stronger kicker" every time.

JTo is unplayable pre MP3.
QJo is about the same, but it can raise a loose limper whereas JTo cannot.

I misread this as JTo vs QTo, sorry. I would rather have QJo in any position/setup over JTo.

Agreed. It is funny in the low limits how many LAGs play JTo from any position every time. It must be a long term loser.

Well look at the Jones book (WLLH 2nd edition). He actually said that he found JTo to be STRONGER than he had previously thought. If I remember correctly he recommends to play it for one bet from any position.

The thing I found interesting when comparing 2+2 to Jones, is that one side found JTo to be weaker than previously thought and the other found it to be stronger. I went with 2+2 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't think Jones says to play JTo from any position. I think you're confusing JTo with JTs.

He says that it can be played for a profit from LP after limpers.
