Re: Situation with Pocket Tens

I also disagree that you haven't defined your hand - you have got a lot of information,

How exactly ? You're raised 4 x BB, you've had a few callers, flop comes with say 1 or 2 overcards(or none).....what information on your opponents hands do you have ? You are first to act, all you know is they have called your raise. They could be playing 33, AK, AA or a whole host of hands.
You have raised and put money you don't need to into a pot and are putting yourself in horrid position with a medium strength hand and you've no idea of the strength of your opponents hands.

It's all very well quoting percentages of the chanes of your hand being ahead etc but the problem is you don't know when it's ahead. If the flop comes KQ3 it's pretty scary. You are still ahead to AJ say but you are not to know what are you ? If you check that flop and someone in later position bets are you calling it ? I'm folding it but I'm folding having only had it cost me 1 BB rather than 4.
