BK, what are YOU going to do when your flop bet is floated or raised by me (in position) with maybe-air and there are 2 overs to your 10s? Fire a 2nd bullet?
You can raise me every time, that's fine it won't bother me, because I will be in position most of the time I'm calling you. And the chips you lose will be more than the ones you "stole" with your raises. There is a reason we all have better #s from OTB than the blinds....
I'm not saying 10s are a bad hand, I'm saying they are weak OOP, and playing them that strongly is really asking for it IMO. I dare you to play a guy heads up and give him the button every hand, LOL.
Your argument that you can get away with that play does have merit if the villain can lay down something like AJ or even AQ/KQ, but a strong player is going to MAKE you fire a second time. And, SOME of the time you fire a 2nd bullet (more expensive one BTW) he'll have a better hand than you. It's just a really uncomfortable spot to be in OOP. If the villains suck or are 55/35/1 that's one thing, but if they are not so loose you are in a bad spot.
If those 2 guys acting after you are at all decent, you are going to win small pots and lose big ones with that flop.
