At any table I'm aggressively betting JJ+ unless my Jacks / Queens get SEVERE warning. Overpair is pretty easy to play postflop given fewer opponents.

However with tens, there being a strong likelihood that overs will flop, I don't know whether to play for set value or raise big with my edge. The trouble is that I feel that overcards (KJ and the like) have an advantage over me if I raise big, because they hit or fold, whereas I'm baffled on the flop if a 1 or 2 ace/paint comes. Also, it's at the loose tables I play at, IDK if raising tens severelypreflop is as good as, say, jamming with rockets. really IDK what I'm doing with tens. advice?

The trick with Tens is not to freak out if a single K, Q or J flops.

Also, there are lots of flavors of loose.

If people are stacking off in unraised pots with weak hands, then I'm not raising much pre-flop.
