The option is to go all in and hope to double up. If the all in gets called you still only have a pair and a pair that will see the community cards. If you want to discourage betting raise 4 or 5 times the blind, if you get called you have it covered if not you've won the same. After the flop the game changes. Would you go all in with Ac Ad if the flop showed Js Qs Ks - 4 outs for the straight against a possible made straight, flush or trips?
I'd say the sensible thing on a STT first hand (10 players) would be the raise.
