I choose 10 J I love playing them even against AA or KK. The stairs always go out.

10 J is one of my favorite hands to play. It connects nut straight both ways!

I much prefer 9 10 suited or 10 jack suited over A9 by far. If I play Ax it would have to be better than A9. The suited connectors are really great for hitting huge pots,and these are usually disguised.

A9o is leading in the odds against JTo by 55,9% vs 44,1%.
Although I prefer also JT, it's always worth for a call

A9 is better in a 1v1 game, and 10J is better in a multipot

For drawing,it is better to use high-value connections-from 10J.Such connectors are also called broadway connectors,because they consist of Broadway cards.High-order cards have the potential not only to improve to a straight,but also to catch top pair post-flop.

10 J, there are some good opportunities if you don't bet much preflop

Of course, a lot depends on the position, opponents and stage of the game, but JT think it's better to get into the flop, create more firewood, and A9 block some strong hands, but if the top pair falls out, you can get trapped because of a weak kicker.

JT: 1). if you have a straight you have the nuts. 2) If you have one pair using your best card then a pair of aces gives you kicker problems, a pair of jacks or tens is easier to muck.

A9 when very shortstacked pre flop all in.

Great choice, for me either card works. Love it when a couple of lucky cards in the hand of the opponent goes against AA or KK. Really don't mind giving up one hand out of five.

In my game there is no favorite hand, my favorite hand is the one that wins.
But I'm not here to judge anyone, if the player has his favorite hand then that's ok, be happy. Good luck to everyone at the tables.:)

You have a good choice, this combination is especially good in multipot. But I don't have a favorite card, all the time I try to play from the opponent and the stage of the tournament.

Statistically A9 has better chances, but i (as most of posters here) prefer 10J
They are connectors and fairly big cards, so you have more play options after flop

TJ (especially is suited) all the way! Win much more often with that than I do with AA, especially in freerolls where noone respects your raises anyway!

If we take into account only the preflop, then, of course, A9. Higher chances of winning

A9, but honestly, both are dead ends for me most of the time.

With more than two callers I prefer j10, cause probably are aces with them, blocking each others pairs. Small x big i go with A9, it depends the context actually.

I will not play both hands for more than 3BB, but if I choose what is best for me, then probably A9. After all, there is an ace, you can hit the dopper and trips of nines.

i mean, i could play A9, on the buttom with the SB and the BB, but J10, i more like it to go with all the position. and played harder if they are suited. love Jack 10. its just way in the middle range.
