I just sat down, do first hand for me and my opponent. Both of us start with $25.

Pacific Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.12/$0.25
10 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG raises to $2.25, 2 folds, Hero calls, 6 folds.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($4.87, 2 players)
UTG bets $3.25, Hero calls.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($11.37, 2 players)
UTG bets $19.25 (all-in), Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $19.25 returned to UTG.

Results:
Final pot: $11.37

I'm just starting out with NL... What do people often have when they raise 10x the BB preflop? Should I reraise here and try to get all in? I guess I should have raised somewhere... :-)

Thanks,

Some people like to raise extra big with hands like 66-TT or AK.
Some think this is a good way to play aces.
Others like to do it with any two.
Without a read this is tough.
A reraise at any point basically means you are going all in.
(Edit: doing this preflop might be wise, as you can fold to a push.
However if he calls you will have about a potsized bet left...)
Looks like a made hand desperate to defend against a draw.
I think this is a fold, as people tend to be more nitty/conservative in full ring.
If this was 6max I would lean towards calling,
as many people would play 88/AK like this.

I would have probably raised PF. If he RR me, I can let it go. If he just calls then I can probably safely put him on JJ and below.
