Major tournament, day 1a. Just been moved to a new table. You have played 1 hand at this table, in which you have called a 7k push from mid postion with 77, which represented 20% of your stack and cracked KK.
You are now sat with 45k. Average is roughly 25k.
Blinds 600/1200/100
Folded to cutoff seat (40k (ish)) who makes it 4k. You look down at 10s, what do you do, fold, call or raise (if so, how much) and why?

probably just a call to see if you can hit your set, if you dont you can always fold and its not damaged your stack too much.

Take a flop...bet out if you think you might be in front on flop...unless you flop a 10 or quads of course...then you may want to get tricky

Take the flop and come out betting Riding Horse

the BB could be sat an bullets and you would be hard pressed to call a combo of reraises or allins preflop but you can walk away from 4k though.
To many scenarios post flop but as a rough guide.........................
Trips? some may check raise, not me, 4k if i hit a set with high cards showing. why give any free cards away and hit trip jacks let em pay for it.
6k ish if no set no-matter the flop. gives you two ways to win. if you get reraised you will need some pondering time. Think

worst case senario is a stack loss of 22% at this point
obviously there are alot of other factors involved but this would be MY standard rough hand guide I would work to but each to their own
one exception is quads. i would let em catch up, hopefully to a house at which point i would Doggystyle

them

out of interest what did happen
