Handling 10 10 early.....help
 

Literally the first hand of an online satellite and i pick up 10 10 in the BB (20), 1 MP raise to 100, 1 call LP , I reraise to 200. MP calls, LP all in 1500.



To early to get any reads whatsoever.

Easy fold? What to do?

Fold.

Why the min re-raise? I don't like that play at all - I'm just taking a flop and looking for a set at this point.

satalite for what? buy -in?

Easy fold. You made a big mistake by raising that amount, which gives them no reason to fold. What was your reason for that raise?

The thing to do is to realize you are OOP, call, and see what the flop brings. If you spike an overpair or set, then you have something, and anything you do will look suspicious because you made an odds-based PF call (bet out, c/r, c/c).

Don't make that raise next time.

Ditto.

Especially early in tournaments some people tend to play trash hands like it's the nuts. You never know where you're at with your hand. Like the others said, play this hand cheaply and pray to spike a set.

Re: Handling 10 10 early.....help
 

What are you thinking about with the minraise? I'm just curious.

who plays a big pocket pair second hand low??? This could be a good time to double up, especially if its a low buy in.
