A computer analyst in the 70s showed 10 J suited is the best hand in hold em where u been all these years.

JTh is more likely to make a straight or flush than AA.

The Bryce · #4 08-12-2006, 10:43 PM

But AA can make two different flushes, doesn't that make up for it?

this advantage (that of the two flush ability) is negligible. AA only has two outs, and is therefore dominated

JTo is obviously better than all of these.

I never thought two hands with straight flushes and action could be so thoroughly uninteresting

T5 is the best because it can be a part of every singles straight.
