1/2 loose passive game

Limp UTG with J /images/graemlins/heart.gif10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4 limpers and both blinds to see the flop of

10 /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I lead out and get raised by UTG+1. Everyone else folds. Turn is K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif for a board of

10 /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I check, he bets and I fold.

My plan was to call down if the turn and river looked safe, and checkraise if I got some improvement. In the past I would usually just reraise the flop and keep on going usually to be shown A10 or an overpair. I have no read on this opponent since this is his first orbit. Thoughts?

Include potsize, itīs one of the most important factors in most of your decisions.

Looks fine though. He needs a hand to raise into that many players and probably doesnīt play worse Tens UTG.

Edit: Think the pot is small enough not to worry about T9/JT/QT. ( You have many outs for a split vs the last two)
