Stars 150. TOUGH decision. TT in SB.
 
PokerStars Game #4302541559: Tournament #21184659, Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2006/03/15 - 22:35:02 (ET)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to mman_status [Ts Tc]
audifan: folds
dutsmoc: raises 400 to 600
KingTuna1: folds
PMJackson21: folds
DG Chaz: folds
TopDollar129: folds
Kuzak: calls 600

Keeping in mind stack sizes, how would you proceed. If you dont know, Kuzak is a very good player whom I have played against many times in this tournament and 200 sit & go.

Why didn't he reraise? Villain only had 700 behind.
Should I call, raise.... anyone advocate a fold?

Both players' play here makes me nervous holding 1010. UTG+1 not pushing here is very suspicious. With 7BBs and a 3BB raise makes me think QQ/KK+. A good player flat calling on the button and not pushing to isolate is a also (as you alluded to) very suspicious- I think KK/AA. I think you have to call here and play your 1010 for set value. The problem is when the flop comes rags and UTG+1 pushes and if Kusak just flat calls. I don't like it, but if that scenario unfolds, I think I'm folding here. I think given the information we have here, playing this hand for set value is the way to go. I just can't see pushing PF ending up in a coinflip or dominating either player.

I would like to here what the flop action is if you just called.

that raise sure looks fishy, and you def don't have implied odds to flop a set.

but TT sure is a cool hand.

i dunno man. make funny faces at your computer and then click fold? or call and check any flop to see what those other cool cats dude -- if you can build a sidepot with the caller maybe its worth playing?

i think a raise is probably the worst play.

You are all insane, this is a push.

I'm sorry that one of them had aces.

oh damn I left my mashed potatos and meat loaf in the microwave.

by the way, you are insane for pushing TT. If this is ever a spot to fold TT this would be it, even JJ. Possibly QQ. I have seen donks do this infinatum and Ax is the worst holding with a pair better than TT doing this 70%+ of the time. And there are two. I mean, come on.

But I could be wrong, I will say as much. I understand where the push line is coming from, but I can find a fold here.
