$22: TT in early levels

[mosdef]

I strongly disagree witb those who say raise here. In a $22, if you raise to a "reasonable" amount, let's say 50, you will in all likelyhood get callers (which you don't want with TT since the flop will so often contain overcards). Sure, if you flop a set you're in business, but you would have been anyway if you had just limped.

Conversely, if you make a hefty raise to "isolate", then your raise plus an anticipated c-bet will be 1/4 of your stack or more.

IMO it just doesn't make sense to raise TT here. The opponents are so keen to hand over their stacks when you hit a set that you can play them "just" for set value. Most of the additional value that you get from raising preflop comes from getting the opponent to fold to a c-bet on the flop, in which case the fact that you have TT is irrelevant.
