If we are at the first level of 10-20 with 1500 starting (low limit games $2-10) I would not raise from early position with 10s. I have found a 3 times raise from under the gun or second to act will just attract 3-4 callers when the blinds are so low and you will need flop help to continue with the betting (or risk a bluff from early position hoping no one else hit the flop). I would raise 3-4 times BB once the blinds are in the 25-50 and up area when the money is actually going to dent someones stack.
If I am in a higher dollar game (20-30), the early raise should garner more respect and may be played more consistantly.
Every situation deserves something different.
Poker RULES!
