"I Call"
 

Here comes the flop...

     
 Ten of hearts Ten of Diamonds

Ace of Spades Queen of Spades Five of Hearts


When the action is heavy before you, a pocket pair can look tempting, but calling may put you in a difficult spot before the flop even arrives. Here, the board offers little help, and with several opponents still in the hand, an overpair or stronger holding is quite possible. A ten on the flop would improve your confidence, but even then you would need to consider the betting and the players’ tendencies. In an early hand, with no reads to guide you, preserving your chips is often wiser than hoping to catch up. Review more situations like this at casinopau-online.com and think through your options before calling.

Probably the one of the worst flops you could ask for. The bad thing about calling pre flop is with all that action before you, it must mean you're probably be behind in this hand. The only flop you really want to see is one with a 10 in it. Even if the flop is less than 10 high, you still wouldn't be sure that one of 3 players in front of you have an over pair to your 10's.  It's the first hand, no real reason to lose so many chips when you haven't even got a read on the other players yet. Now no matter what action happens before you, it's fairly clear you're probably beat. Folding may have been your best option pre flop here.
