TT vs JT is a card-removal spot: the pair holds one of the cards the unpaired hand most wants. TT wins 63.0%, JT wins 35.1%, and 1.9% of boards chop. Blocking an out (and vice versa) pushes the favorite past a clean race — it's one of the most common all-in confrontations you'll actually face.
At a final table the raw 64.0% / 36.0% split is only half the story — ICM bends it. As the 36.0% underdog, JT pays an extra survival premium, so the chip-EV "close enough" call can be a clear ICM fold. The pure equity sets the floor; the payout ladder sets the real price.
In practice, TT vs JT rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: TT wants to realize its 63.0% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while JT should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 3.
