Yeah Aliens post makes a lots of sense and I agree with everything he says. We dont mean to argue about your play constantly and stuff Doc we really dont and hats off to you if some of your methods work for you

BUT the way of limping and just trying to bag the set is just so much a simpler and definitely less volatile (and a lot more profitable imo) way of playing the hand. It makes your decisions so much easier than having to guess where you stand when out of position with what in all essence is a marginal hand once a flop comes and you havent improved.

I play the same way with JJ down, I make special note to raise from any position with QQ, KK and AA.

For me with JJ downward you are just too likely to face an overcard on the flop (and what if theres 2 overcards?). When your out of position with people whove called a raise your just in a quandry as to where you stand, and your probly standing in the poker equivalent of quicksand truth be told.

Im not sure the chances of there being an overcard on the flop with Tens but I believe with Jacks its something like 60% you will so im certainly not liking pocket tens chances there.
