Poker – Ace-queen Or Ace-jack
An Ace with a Queen, or Jack, is a playable hand from early position. You have a strong kicker if there is an Ace on the flop or you have a big pair with the best kicker if a Queen or a Jack should flop. When these cards are suited you will have the added potential for making a flush. If, however, the pot is raised ahead of you, and you have an unsuited Ace-Jack, you may be in for trouble as a player raising from early position may have a big pair. You have to consider who is doing the raising.

Poker And Tens
Tens are actually the start of the medium pairs. Since most players will play any face cards they can easily be beaten if any over-cards appear on the flop. Pocket tens can be played in early position in loose, passive games, but you might want to pass if the game is very aggressive. Since all straights require the use of a ten or a five, holding tens does have an advantage if the flop brings cards that may need a ten to complete a straight draw.
Since you have two of them, it is unlikely that another player will have the other ones. If the flop brings all low cards, making your tens top pair, you should raise if anyone bets before you after the flop. You need to make it expensive for anyone holding overcards to stay in the pot. If the flop contains Aces or faces, you will probably be best to fold your tens if you have no other outs such as a straight draw.
