Default Re: Standard play, yes?

Standard preflop.

Standard flop bet.

You only hate 2 turn cards, a 6 and a Jack. Going all-in now is pointless. You will get called everytime by the straight, set, and any two pair. You will not get a better hand to fold. It is quite debatable whether there is any value at all to be extracted from a 10... and that's really your only hope.

So, you have to decide if you are willing to fold this hand or not. If not, you are better off checking and at least possibly inducing a bluff from a smaller pocket pair. If you are beat, you may be able to get away with some chips by shutting down here. If you decide that you CAN get away from this, you need to check and consider folding if the action is right (wrong).

I'd probably get away from this hand. 445 chips in level 1? No biggie.
