Default Re: 10 10 on button after CO-1 raise 17,5bb

I'd say call, and see what he does on the flop. If he calls a push, you're tournament life is on the line with 10-10 and you will at best have a coinflip. If he folds you win 1800 which isn't enough to risk your whole stack against this guy who will probably have a hand since he doesn't raise very often.. Call and let him miss the flop.

The push is pretty favorable. You have 7000, so gaining 1800 is significant. TT vs. two overcards is not a coin flip and you have pot odds. Your EV gain against two overcards is also about 1800. Against a higher pp, the exoected loss is about 3800. There is some chance of being called by a lower pp or A9 or something. On balance pushing is significantly EV+.

Calling with position is also favorable, so it is a good play too. I think pushing is better, but calling is OK depending on the situation.
