Re: first hand of single-table 10
Folding TT here is just being stupid. You can play weak - and you can play too weak.
It's fine to limp. I'd raise to t60 though. I'm probably check-folding the flop.

I also recommend doing the same with JJ early in $11-$22. If you want to raise people out of the pot (to win what, t25?) - raise 125-175. However, best play is - limp, fold if raised, fold if miss the set.

When you do this you can profitably bet many flops because 2/3 of the time the flop will miss villain. I am not advocating this play in this spot, I'm just explaining the logic of the raise. It's an important distinction. In one case, you are trying to steal the blinds. In the other, you are generating a pot worth stealing on the flop by picking up (hopefully!) one and only one calller.

I'm also not going to try and pick up some chips on such a bluff this early on. Plus, it doesn't always work - earlier today I raised t125 with AQs in MP2 (in $22 SnG) and got 4 callers...

Re: first hand of single-table 10
Uh... if you're going to see a flop with TT, you better not fold to all undercards without a serious read, which you probably won't have on the first hand. Also, limping rather than raising preflop keeps the pot smaller, which will keep you out of a lot of trouble with marginal holdings such as TT.

Re: first hand of single-table 10
I don't fold all flops with undercards. I fold when I suspect that I'm beat. This villains betting pattern is enough for me to lay down TT.
