Re: Playing tens in the hole...
If the people involved do indeed have you covered, or you're about even, then playing this for set value in this position is fine. The problem pre-flop is that no one has shown any strength, so while it might sound a bit odd, I'd mini-raise this particluar hand pre-flop for two reasons. 1) You'll likely knowck out one of the blinds that may flop some silly two pair if there's all unders.
2) You'll have shown some kind of strength and there's a better chance it will get checked to you on the flop.
If you 'miss' your flop but have all under cards here and the board isn't too coordinated, and someone leads into you, then you must make it a minumum of a pot sized raise here. I'd even suggest slightly over, so that you're setting a tone here.
The turn is ok, but a pot size to 2/3 bet here is good too. River is fine.
