Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero raises to t110, 2 folds, MP2 calls t110 (pot was t155), MP3 folds, CO raises to t490, 3 folds, Hero really really really wants to push, oh please, can't I, mommy?

Is that the right play?

I would fold, though I would be limping this pf instead of raising initially (and you could probably call villain when he makes a smaller raise in that case).

im probably folding, thats a big reraise and people dont 3bet light at this level

If you initially limp this you can often have implied odds to call the raise to try and flop a set. TT and JJ are hands where you hate to get re-raised (in STT early levels) so that's one of the reasons many players here limp.

A limp will make this an easier call as Bradley said.

Limp with small/medium pairs in early pos. you can call a raise with TT, but you dont want to get re-raised, and with the blinds just 15-30, it isn`t worth all your chips this early in the SNG

I also like limping and then calling a raise. As played, I'm folding to the reraise.

Hmm, maybe I've been playing my TTs all wrong. I know they're really second best of the small pairs, but I still treat them as lower end of my big pairs, at least at the $10 level. Maybe I've gotten lucky and they've almost always been good. I'll consider limping more in the future.

I pushed, he called with AKo, MHIG, I made some player notes. Maybe others did about me as well.
