I just doubled up again, though I am not proud of it. Guy to my right limped in when all folded in front of him, he always raised with any pair or AK, I had Tens and figured I was a coin flip against his hand and wanted everyone else out so I pushed in and everyone but him folded, he had AQ and I survived the coin flip. This was probably a horrible play on my part, but I can honestly say I had no idea how to play it. If my read on the guy next to me was right and I just called (or raised and he called) when the flop hit I would have had to fold to any bet since it was k-k-9.

This is something I could really use help with.

Anyone?

I disagree. Can't go into a long explanation now, but this was a great flop for your pair. I like a call preflop and then the push after the flop. I think it's a safer play. If the flop is little cards, great. If it's overs, you can get of it and pick a better spot.

Just my two cents. I'll be interested to see what others (ahem, Kurn) think.
