If you want good advice from the posters on these forums, you need to provide a lot more information than just a hand history.

Try to explain how the table has been playing for the last bit.

Has everyone been limping like this a lot?
Has everyone been folding to all-ins after limping like this?
Do they stand up to raises with stupid hands, like QTs?

From the looks of this, you don't need to try to steal with ~54x BB against 4 opponents, 2 of which could take a good chunk away from you.

If you believe you have the best hand then a big raise (500-600) would be sufficient to gain some information, rather than a ridiculous raise of 5300 bucks.

Hope this helps, and another thing.

To get an idea of how to post a hand history, try looking around at some other, more popular hand history posts and see what kind of stuff they talk about, and how they lay it out.

People tend to appreciate clear and concise information about a table. This creates discussion since everyone understands what's happening and hopefully the poster gets some insight.

No offense, but not only would I never ever go all in. In certain situations I would toss this hand away. There is too much to lose, and not enough to gain. A10 really isn't that strong of a hand. There are 16 hands that I have you beat, and there are a ton of hands that you are a coinflip against or only a slight 60/40 favorite. In the future I'd recommend a 4x raise, but then again I don't have all your info here.

Well I don't like mucking preflop. I'd prefer to check and see what happens [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My normal play here would be to check preflop. If I had something like 1500 chips I'd be more apt to move allin, as there is a lot of $$ in the pot.

I wouldn't muck either. I was just saying in certain situations I would. I was just trying to put it into terms where he'd understand that its not THAT strong a hand to go all in. All in is the last thing you should do.
