Jnandez is a scarf butthole, however he does try and hit home the risk of domination in those queen, jack and ten high hands. Part of the domination also is you getting free-rolled where your opponent has the same current straight but higher side cards to make a better future straight.
you went on and on about non nut straights with qj1010
with 2 tens in your hand you're also a ton less likely to get free rolled on straights plus you have 2 flush draws.
yes the flop could come 9jk/89j and he could have the unlikely aq10,kq10 and have a 4 out freeroll
any straight you make with the jq if he has a higher straight draw you have a set and you'll be the one with more equity
it's also really easy to be dominated against anyone good 4 betting when you have 7653 ds deep
people tend to always assume the other guy has aces and any staight or flush draw is good which is fine shallower and often very costly deep
