Only one hand that I hate more than pocket 10's... and that's pocket J's!

Pocket tens are trouble for me as well. There always seem to be over cards on the board. I have learned to fold pocket pairs when I think Im beat, and it has really helped my game. Its hard to do, but it needs to be done.

For me they seem to be a little harder to fold because they are ranked a group 2 hand. But if you don't flop trips any face card can take you out. I played them hard pre-flop in a tourny and some jackass with a J4 or something knocked me out.

My most hated hand is KING 10, suited or unsuited, i HATE IT. I always lose to it, and lose with it.

i love pocket 10's i raise about 3/4x the BB, so i know ppl calling wud have either pocket pair of 2 face cards at least (on a sensible table).
For some reason i always seem to flop trip 10's, also if face cards come on the flop its an easy hand to get away from... if all cards are under 9 then u make a decent sized bet and hope some idiot goes silly with his top pair decent kicker, (K/A-9)

With TT in NL, from early position I like to play set, since I'm out of position and at best a 55% favorite with any hand they're calling with. Otherwise I raise them up MPish to LP if no one has come in with a raise yet.

Also, they're pretty good for challenging a loose pre-flop raiser.
