Difference between weak and smart plays preflop
I know there is a fine line between weak play preflop and smart play. I am usually a tight player preflop but not a rock. I am very hesitant to preflop raises though. I hate calling raises with hands like AJ and 10-10. Heres an example of one hand from recently.

I hadnt seen him raise in the 2 orbits i'd been there but I folded expecting I was dominated. Was this a smart move or should I have called and seen the flop? This is about the tightest fold I've made preflop to such a small raise but I will almost always fold A-10 or KQ to any sizeable bet preflop. Should I be calling raises with those?
