I'm raising here every time barring some extremely strange read

How much? Pushing seems excessive, and a loose bigstack is quite likely to call any raise I make, and I am still lost on the flop...

Would you also raise 9's? 4's?

I might raise 99. 44 no way. 88 probably no way as well. But those are all closer than TT.

How much? I think I'd do t175 or t225. Maybe the former for pot control reasons, but I don't honestly think it matters that much.

I would have raised to 250 preflop. I think it's easier then to know where you stand.

I think you have a better chance of stealing/doubling your way to the money then winning this hand.

I think this is a good way of looking at things.

Scuba, would you then fold to a push?

UTG has been really quite loose and has been showing down rubbish like Q7o.

Ok, there's 125 in the pot and you have 765 behind preflop. You rate to be ahead. There's no need to make this hand complicated.

It seems everybody has a different opinion. And everybody seems to have good points. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You're suggesting I just push?

(I don't think anyone has said fold preflop yet..)

I always struggle with what to do with TT in this type of situation pre-flop. Obviously in an MTT I'm raising. But here, in level 3 of an SNG, I am still thinking about getting to level 4 and 5 where I can start stealing and surviving to the bubble. So often I call, hoping to minimize my investment and just play some poker post-flop. Sounds like most of you think that is a poor approach?

I get the whole 'stealing on the bubble thing', but why does this concept have to make us play like total pansies pre-bubble? I'm raising this pre-flop exactly 100% of the time with our stack size. And since UTG is loose, I like pushing pre-flop alot here. It's 7 handed for crying out loud, and there's one other guy in the pot when it gets to us pre-flop. Push those 10s, and watch someone call you quite frequently with a lower PP.
