Let's take a minute to look at hands like Ace-Ten. Considered abstractly, this is actually a very good, and it is very playable from late position or short-handed. From early position, it's a terrible hand. This is an illustration of the principles of poker - you want to make money (chips), not win hands. When you play AT from early position, there are many players to act behind you that you know nothing about. There's a good chance that someone will come in with a better Ace or pocket-pair, but even if they don't you're in bad shape. The problem is that the other players know what hand you have - assuming you and they are both playing reasonably, they know you basically have an ace or pocket pair. So, what kind of flop can make you money? Well, an Ace on the flop does you no good. It may give you the winning hand, but your opponent knows it, so they will just fold. The best flop for you is of course JQK, but realistically you'd like a Ten-high flop. If the flop has anything over a ten, (JQK) you have to play carefully, since hands like QJ or KQ are exactly the type of hands that will play against you (and of course AJ,AQ,AK). The only way you can make decent money on the hand is if you play against the big-blind, and the flop comes ten-high and you both make a pair. Obviously this is a rare perfect situation, and no reason to play a hand.
Now, this is not true when short-handed or from late position. When you open from the button in a ring game, you already know that the 7 players ahead of you are out, so you only need to worry about the blinds. While there was an @@% chance of someone having a better hand when you're under the gun, the chance of the blinds having you dominated is only @@%. Furthermore, they will not necessarilly assume you have a good hand. The big blind is likely to defend his hand with any ace, so there are now many hands that you will be playing against that *you* have dominated. Hold'Em is a game of dominance, and you want to get up against hands that you have dominated, eg. if you have AT then you dominate any lower Ace, while higher aces dominate you. A higher ace against a lower ace has a 70-75% chance of winning, but it's actually even better than that because of EV's. Short handed Ace-Ten is quite a strong hand (63% chance of winning vs. a random hand). A friend of mine came up with a cute rule. With N players, you want to have at least Ace-N. That is, heads up, you want any ace (Ace-Deuce), against ten players, you want Ace-Ten. Obviously you shouldn't take this rule too literally, since position and previous action are both very important, and we've just discussed how Ace-Ten is not very good at a ten-player table, but it gives you a rough idea.
There's another important factor about hands like Ace-Ten - by folding them, you protect yourself from mistakes. Let's say you get Ace-Ten in middle position. You might opt to play it, and in the hands of a good player, the EV of playing would be positive, but small, something like 0.1 big blinds. The EV of folding is obviously zero. Let's say you come in for a raise and someone calls you from the button, all others fold. How do you play this hand? What flop do you want? The problem you face is that you may already be dominated by a higher ace. Let's say the flop comes A36. What do you do? It's unclear, and you're in trouble. At this point you can either win a small pot (if he has no ace), or lose a big pot (if he has a better ace). With perfect play (reading him, inducing bluffs, etc.) you can still make money in these situations, but it's now very difficult. Chances are, you are not a perfect player, and you will be trapped in these situations, which can cost you a lot of money. Your best move is just to fold it preflop, and not put yourself in this situation at all. You're not giving up much at all by folding preflop, and it saves you a potentially large loss. This is an excellent overall principle in poker - don't put yourself in bad situations! There are very few hands preflop that you absolutely must play, all the others, if you feel like you might be in trouble, just fold! Similarly, let's say you're on the button with AT. Someone opens for a raise from middle position and it folds to you. Now, let's say you have a feeling he's on a small pocket pair or perhaps even a lower suited ace or KQ. What do you do? Fold! Sure, you may have sussed him out and you may be in good position against him, but there is a reasonable chance he has you dominated, and it's just not worth it. You can win a small pot if you're right, or lose a big pot if you're wrong. By folding, you lose nothing.
Now, Ace-Ten suited can play differently. ATo short-handed plays like a "made hand" - you're probably ahead at the start, and you want to just pair your ace or ten and you're probably golden. ATs can play multi-way like a drawing hand. For example, say you're in late position in a ring game and several players come in ahead of you, just limping (no raise). You can call here based on your drawing odds. The nice thing about ATs is that you are drawing to several hands that will get paid well. You have to count the flops that you like - two of your suit to give you a flush draw (and it's a draw to the nuts), something like QJ to give you a gut-shot to the nut straight, AT on the flop to give you two-pair, or a Ten-high flop. Even hitting your ace you might be winning since there was no raise preflop.
