Even 99-77 has you beat. The only likely hands (even though this is online) you beat are KQ, KJ, K10, and QJ. In the end you had them beat, but A10 has so many hands that beat it that I couldn't put my chips in behind a raise.

I'm with Yeltzen here.

yeah, me too. the raise indicates, pretty much, that you're beat. with a short stack, you can be first in with a raise with lots of stuff. to reraise though...you need something stronger than ATo
