How to play A 10 offsuit pre-flop?

#1 10th June 2009, 7:51 PM

I play .02/.05 NL. How would you play it from the blinds, MP, LP? Fold, call, raise? Just curious what you generally do with this hand. Thank you.

first to act....i raise...

last to act....i call...unless there are big raises in front... also depend on how others are playing at the table

Fold out of position.

Squeeze with the button two barrels. if still got company only value bet if appropriate.

Fold in EP
Call in MP
Raise in LP (only if there are few callers ahead of you, otherwise just call)

yeah i would play similar to what was said by oz, what i struggle with is Aj off suit would you play that kind of the same?

Personally, I would Daley. I think once it hits something like AQ or AK that's where you raise MP and try to potsteal.

My LP play would be the same for AJ OS. If there are a few callers you'd raise to try and reduce the players (eliminate all if possible) who see the flop and maybe hit their pair. If there's not many, then I'd simply call.

possibly fold out of position.

raise some in/late position.

I fold A10 more often than not. It's just one of those hands on "my list" that gets you into trouble far too often than not. All depending on the stage in the tournament and blinds as well relative to your stack. Since your question is cash game though, it all depends on your tablemates.

I find that an Ace with a low kicker is a good way to get into trouble.

However, in late position I would call the blinds or a small bet. But, be ready to fold at the first sign of agressive betting.

AT os is not even in the top 24 of the EV table. So, thats how weak the hand is.

If you are unable to fold a pair of Aces, dont play A T os at all.

just a donks opinion, as I am a TAG player.

A ten off suit is generally not that great of a hand and unless i'm feeling risky i'd say to just fold it. I think that the times you win with it will be small but you will lose more with this hand.

Thanks everyone!

I disagree with calling as ATo just doesn't play very well multi-way. We should be raising or folding generally imo

#13 12th June 2009, 2:19 AM

this is a nasty hand-i would limp but if im in late position and it gets folded to me i raise then based on flop i see if i can proceed or just give up on it....

#14 12th June 2009, 4:05 AM

it all depends who is on the table if there's idiots on the table that play with any cards .be caucious .maybe not raise and just call or if there's tight players just raise or call .like i say depends what position ur in ,who calls ,raises and reraises .depends on the ppl at the table ..

#15 12th June 2009, 7:12 PM

I personally would only play in late pos. but totally depends on who is on the table aswell.
Not exactly a premium hand is it.

#16 13th June 2009, 5:31 PM

if no one raise a min raise or 3bb bet is the more appropiate way of playing these hand, with a big raise before i think calling or folding are the best options .. remember that A10 is not such a great hand however 10 is an interesting kicker whick can make you win hands like a9,a8,a7, etc...

I agree with this approach. In LP if there aren't too many limpers I might raise and re-evaluate post flop if I get called.

This is the sort of hand that I wouldn't need much persuasion to let go. As I think someone else has said, it is the sort of hand that can get into trouble. You can easily get called by Ax and if an A hits on the flop it is difficult to know where you stand - against 2 pair or higher kicker?

However I don't like folding it as a matter of course either.

I usually fold A-10. If I do play it, it's usually in late position. I'm looking for a straight or two pair or a full-house. Something like that, i would be very nervous playing A-10 as a top pair and depending on the 10 as a kicker, especially if there is alot of action.

#20 14th June 2009, 2:04 PM

i h8 playing crap like that if im in positon then i will raise but if i get reraised to much then fold because its horrible cards to be holding

#21 14th June 2009, 5:08 PM

Fold it EP,MP. Maybe play it for a raise if 1st in in late position.

#22 14th June 2009, 7:55 PM

in EP I fold A 10, any other seat I will raise it up to about 12c. this allows you to get away from it should you see a 3 bet.

#23 14th June 2009, 10:10 PM

micro limits should fold, raise and 5 players will call. Cant beat any thing but a bluff.

#24 15th June 2009, 7:36 AM

Almost always fold it except a sometimes limp in late position.
