This is an $11 SNG. No read on the villain, except for the fact that I caught him bluffing and took a big pot off of him the previous hand. I don't know if he's on tilt.

Is this an auto-fold? Should I have called the check-raise on the flop?

Raise more preflop (200)

Push the flop after the reraise.

As played call very fast.

Re: Playing TT when the board pairs
 

why push the flop after the cr? are you putting him on a bluff or a flush draw here?

Re: Playing TT when the board pairs
 

I prefer a limp PF
As played, push over the RR

Why the push after the reraise?

I don't disagree but would like to understand the reasons?

I would also push after the reraise (if I was calling the reraise) because if you're going to call the reraise you're pot committed anyway. You don't mind making a worse hand fold (two over's) and many worse hands call (flush draws, A9, some smaller pockets) so stick it in now if you feel like you have the best hand.

I'm surprised; I thought a pf limp was really standard here.

Why would you want to limp here? Don't you want to raise for value and protect your slightly vulnerable hand? I normally raise to 250 here...
