If you raise big, the only people who will call you will have overcards, and you will be only a slight favorite, or an underpair and you will have to play them post-flop, or an overpair and you are a huge underdog.

Given his table image (none) and read on the table (none) and position, I'd say he played it well.

Even his post flop was OK. He was going for the check-raise (I assume) and he got lucky with jflash overbetting.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I admit, it was a little soft on the raise. I knew it... I've always had relatively bad luck on pocket tens getting burned by overcards, though. So I doubled the bet to just feel out what I was up against. When I didn't get reraised, I figured I was up against lower pairs or overcards. I decided to checkraise because I'd actually played against the player to my right bdmwin and knew that he liked to bet big postflop, so I thought I would check and let him do my dirtywork and reraise him. My notes were right, as 125 was too huge for a top pair bet, and then the all in by jflash scared me a touch, but his limping couldn't let me put him on pocket Js.

So while it was weak to begin with, it paid off.

Please remember that it was first hand, so everyone's still in that feeling out process. And besides, 10/10 is no 7/4o
