The range this is computed against
At ten big blinds there is no postflop game left — the shove either shows a profit outright or it does not — so a jamming range is far wider than an opening range from the same seat. A typical late-position 10bb push is roughly a quarter of all hands: every pair, every suited ace, the good suited kings and connectors, and offsuit aces down to A5o.
10bb shove — 334 combos, 25.2% of all starting hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22, AKs, AQs, AJs, ATs, A9s, A8s, A7s, A6s, A5s, A4s, A3s, A2s, KQs, KJs, KTs, K9s, K8s, K7s, QJs, QTs, Q9s, JTs, J9s, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AKo, AQo, AJo, ATo, A9o, A8o, A7o, A6o, A5o, KQo, KJo, KTo
After card removal, 307 of those 334 combos are still available (27 are blocked by the cards JTs holds). JTs is ahead of 58 and behind 249.

Against a 10bb shoving range (334 combos, 25.2% of all hands), JTs runs at 43.1%. It wins 42.2% of runouts outright, loses 55.9% and splits the remaining 1.9%. Your own two cards remove 27 of those combos before the flop is even dealt — a blocker effect this number already accounts for, because every combo containing one of your exact cards is stripped out of the range first. You are ahead of only 58 of the 307 combos still live (19%) — the rest of the range is level with or in front of you, which is why the figure sits below even money.
Where does the range come from? At ten big blinds there is no postflop game left — the shove either shows a profit outright or it does not — so a jamming range is far wider than an opening range from the same seat. A typical late-position 10bb push is roughly a quarter of all hands: every pair, every suited ace, the good suited kings and connectors, and offsuit aces down to A5o. Broken down hand by hand, JTs does worst against JJ (17.8%), QQ (18.3%) and KK (19.8%) and best against T9s (70.1%), J9s (69.0%) and 98s (64.7%). Across the whole range JTs's equity swings from 17.8% at the bottom to 70.1% at the top — the single 43.1% headline is the combo-weighted average of all of it.
Against a 10bb shoving range (25.2% of hands), JTs is a 43.1% proposition. You are the underdog, so the call has to be paid for by the dead money already in the pot — chip EV and ICM can disagree sharply here.
JTs vs 10bb shove FAQ

What hands are in a 10bb shoving range?
53 hand classes and 334 combos — 25.2% of the 1,326 possible starting hands. By combo count it is 23% pocket pairs (13 pairs, 78 combos), 34% suited hands (28 classes, 112 combos) and 43% offsuit hands (12 classes, 144 combos). That shape is why JTs runs at 43.1% against it rather than against a random hand.
Does JTs do better against a wider or a tighter range?
Wider, almost always. JTs has 49.4% equity against a loose-passive calling range (50.5% of hands) but 32.3% against a 4-betting range (3.2%). Equity against a range is mostly a question of how many weak hands the range still contains — which is why the same holding can be a monster against a button open and a fold against a 4-bet.
