Since I have recently graduated from these levels, I feel qualified to respond. Few different outcomes to your raise.
1) Folds all around. Yay.
2) Pre-flop Re-raise. Let it go unless you have a good read. Players at these stakes usually aren't re-raising you unless they have 10s covered. They're usually call stations, not aggro.
3) One to two callers. Ideal situation. If:
a) flop contains one ace, let it go. A significant percentage will call a huge raise with A-anything, and then when an ace flops, play it like the nuts. You will not be able to push them off of this come hell or high water.
b) flop contains over cards....bet/raise for info....go from there. If you are called, my expectation is that you are beat
c) contains all lower cards, push all-in. You will get called often enough by players who think their A-9 (TPTK) is goot. (Remember they play any Ace.)
4) Contains three-four callers. Eeek. You're on your own. If a ten doesn't fall, I'm getting out of those fish infested waters. God only knows what they have, but your tens are no good here.........They will probabaly create odds for each other to draw to their ace or runner runner flush or their gutshot........
I agree.
Am I checking or betting an ace-high flop if it checks around to me?
