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

[Durer]

blinds 200-400 in Party 35k guarantee 30+3 rebuy on party

CO-1 with 11k open up for 1200, folded to me on button, i have 10 10 and 7000, blinds have 8000 each, no special reads altough i have not seen him raising that much, whats the best play with this info ?

I would probably push. Push or call.

[Durer]

it should be obvious by the blinds size but anyway its past the rebuy time

Call, reevaluate on flop. With antes id push.

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.

Push - the fact he's not raising much suggests he's tight therefore he might fold. If you get callers your probably a coin flip against 2+ callers and slight fav against 1.

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.

Everything said in this post is wrong.

Even the tightest of players here will not fold a better hand here. Ever.

i pushed and he called with qq, i am not sure this is result oriented but i think it was wrong, it was only 39 people left and 7k was a pretty okey stack and I am probaly either coinflip or in really bad shape against a tight players open range here, altough a call and reevaluate on the flop or fold are better lines in this spot with this stack against this player at this stage? thoughts?

Get a grip man - i said he might fold and your not in that a bad shape if he calls! Your only worried about AA - JJ and thats a tight range to put a very tight player on in that position.
