i usually play this hand, but really i am hoping to flop top pair with a ten rather than top pair with an ace. i think that a pair of tens with an ace kicker is actually a stronger hand in this situation, because of the kicker problems that are inherent with a pair of aces with a ten kicker.

it isnt really a great hand for me unless it is suited though. obviously trying to catch three perfect cards for a straight isnt the best strategy, so it is probably best to just proceed with caution.

Default Too tight

Limit or NL? What position?

Rare for me to say that something is too tight, but I can't see folding A/10 90% percent of the time. In late position, that's a raising hand to me. Obviously you have to let it go if the flop looks hostile or you run into real resistance, but that hand should make you money.

Default sorry

let me clarify. Any position. Not in ring games specifically for tournaments. I have a feel for it pretty good in ring games bc the play is a lot different. In tournaments i see myself losing a lot of chips with it. Hope that helps you help me out.lol

Position is key here, but also who are you up against. If a tight player raised in front of you fold it most of the time. If a garbage player raises, I would re-raise with it.

Post flop you do have to be cautious, for AA, AK, AQ, AJ if Ace hits.

I'd usually like to see a flop in any position with this hand regardless of position. Yes, I would also like to flop a ten with no over cards on board and have that lovely 10 kicker.

You could run into a lot of trouble with that philosophy in a no limit game
