Hey, I was playing Poker (Texas Hold Em No Limit) with my friends about a week ago in the bar (I had no drink)...I did not win a single game...I was playing tight and I was against two aggresive players...for example I had pocket tens and needed to make a stand so I had to go all in then someone got two pair how should I have played?

I hate pocket 10's and pocket J's. I play regularly in both tourneys and cash games, and generally, in a cash game I would raise 3-4 times the amount of the Big Blind. In a tourney, I've actually just called with those cards, rather than raise. It was a hard lesson though, not to overplay those mid-pocket pairs. I've gotten knocked out of many a tourney by going all-in with those things, and end up with rags!

The great thing about poker is that you can play the hand a million different ways and have so many different outcomes. Poker is all about situations. Some basic questions you have to ask yourself every time you play a hand of poker are, What position am i in?, How many other are in the pot?. how big are my opponents chip stacks?, is the table loose or tight?, Can you steal the pot with a raise or will they defend with any two cards. Knowing your table and how others play is key to winning, but it all depends on a lot of things, If a guy was playing real loose i might re-raise a player, and if he was tight i might give more respect at the table. Just remember that there is no better way to get better then to play.

In early position, I would limp in and try to see the flop as cheaply as possible. With either a set or no flop cards higher, I would make a solid raise. In late position, I would raise before the flop and try to get the blinds out if I was the first to make a bet. If not the first bet, I would call and hope for a set on the flop or no flop cards higher. Faced with a big raise and flop cards higher than my pair, I would probably fold unless I had a solid read on the bettor.

pay attention; you don't know what you did. your pair against 2 over cards is a slight advantage for you.. the all in bet forced everybody out except one. chance to double up at better than 50/50 odds. the caller should have put you on a pair of kings or aces and should have folded. i am going to assume he had 2 under cards and possibly a big stack. and called you to go heads up. you made a great read and a great bet and were a huge favorite. it is just a bad beat. against that competition and your style i would make that bet all day long

Poket 10's are fairly easy to play. If no one rasies when its your turn either call or raise 3x the blinds. After the flop, just wait and see if they check to you, then check or raise 1/2 pot.

Well, you need to give more information, about the game: Size of your and your opponents chips stacks?, blinds size?, how many players at the tables?, your position at the table?....etc. Detail buddy!
You can give me those detail on my site so I can answer you specifically.
Take care

Why were you forced to play out the Tens? Tens are killers!
