With tight blinds and a weak MP2, it's fine. Readless, I don't like it.

Not good w/o reads. Why not check along and hope the button/blinds come along with your hand that plays well multi-way?

Entirely standard methinks.

Perhaps you should post in the Smiley forum instead. That way you could both spew chips.

Smiley ignores me because we don't agree.

I don't get it. Why do you want to isolate with this hand?

Perhaps I should have been less sarcastic. From what I remember about 2/4 you're going to have a hard time winning this hand without hitting the flop, hard. If any of your opponents hit the flop, you're not going to get them to fold. You have ten high. If no one had enetered the pot I'd need a strong reason not to raise. As is, I think this is a waste.

If any of this doesn't apply to your games then perhaps you should work on your game selection.

This isn't a bad play at 2/4 with reads that the button/blinds are tight. However, in the absence of those reads I think it sucks pretty hard.
