Default When Raising Preflop Commits You

6 or 7 handed (forget exactly which) blinds are 30/60 and are soon going to 50/100.

I have 670 in chips. I am UTG with A10 suiited. What is your action? raise, fold, or all-in?

my thoughts:

raise - I feel like raising here committs me to the hand, so I might as well go all-in for more fold equity.

fold - Many a time I've played A10 from UTG here I've ran into hands that either dominate me or I'm a small dog to. Are the blinds really high enough to be worth stealing to risk this?

all-in: see above for reasons why I don't want to all-in

Basically I feel with this kind of stack to blind ratio, a raise with this hand necessitates I raise all-in. And an all-in raise for these amount of blinds, in this position, compared to my stack size, does not seem worth the risk in my opinion. So should I fold this hand? Seems rather weak to me...Maybe I'm over analyzing it...Maybe I should just put my money in and if someone happens to have a better hand then that's the way the cookie crumbles..bleh...insight would be appreciated
