Do an archive search at deja on JTs and you should find lots of reading material on the subject.
Answer 1:
I notice that JTs is put in category 3 in HPFAP. I understand how well it is supposed to do multi-way, especially in regard to its ability to make the nut straight in many different ways. However when you look at what values are given to other hands such as AJo and KQo i think it has too much value attached to it. I realize that the hands i mention are intended to be played very differently (i.e. number of opponents) but anyone else think that overall too much value is placed on it? I look forward to reading the counter-arguments.
Answer 2:
YES…most serious hold’em players have come to recognize that S&M over-value ‘suited connectors,’ and J-10-suited is a prime example of their misconception. There have been several lively and extensive discussions of this previously in RGP, so perhaps you might like to search through newsgroup archives.
Answer 3:
S&M rank J-10-suited a whole “category” better than K-10-suited. Below are ‘test-your-intuition’ questions from RGP last April that Sklansky himself found most revealing and convincing.
