Are you reading the same hand? Who capped what here? Also, there's a lot of information in capping and still getting bet into.

I was speaking generally. In the last week or so there's been a lot of examples of capping with these hands full ring against EP (unknown) raisers.
A lot can be said for taking a more conservative approach with TT. You've described the game as passive, and that would justify a cold call. I don't like building this pot here. You're playing tens here largely for set value. Why shut anyone out behind you in an already crowded field. why allow UTG to make it four?
You flopped an outstanding board and got pushed off. That may have happened for two small bets instead of five (or maybe the button pops it anyway).

Did you read my response to Bob? It's worth it to get the button IMO, enough where I scrapped my plan to coldcall. I improve my chances to win the button and hopefully drive out the blinds and I get more flexibility on a bad flop as well as having the opportunity to handread fairly cleanly if I get 4-bet or if I get called. Further, the coldcallers' ranges are literally two cards.
Two, you're ignoring a ton of information from the preflop action and you're wrong about the board. It's a terrible board and I'm stuck in a very bad reverse implied odds situation. There is a lot more to big pairs than hoping to flop an overpair or a set.
