Default SB with TT

This is my first post here, so I hope I'm in the right place. Anyway, I'm playing in the daily 50k on Stars and this hand comes up. The original raiser had been kind of loose, but the rest of the table has been pretty solid. I'm looking to get some input on what the correct play would be here preflop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

I call here. With one caller I'm definitely squeezing.

This is really close but I think calling is the best. Any reads on the 4x raise?

Not crazy loose, but he did seem to see a lot of flops. Nothing genuine on him...

TT shrinks in value pretty fast against 3 people, I would call most of the time here and treat the TT more like 99 from the flop and on. If you insist on raising it would be a decent chunk of your stack, with a high M value theres no point in getting crazy with TT. Then again, your TT almost certainly has the 2 callers beaten since it would be likely that they would raise with a hand that could beat TT, a raise to 1800 would probably get it at least heads up, out of position I would probably lean more towards a call unless the original bettor was a maniac raising any two cards I would raise it. I would also lean more towards a raise if the stacks were deeper, making a decent raise at this point is relatively big to your stack.

I think this is a very easy shove with your stack.

I like a shove here.
neither of the callers has a hand btter than JJ (obv JJ is a possibility and beats you, but they'd still have to call to give you any trouble)

the opener could possibly have a dominating hand, however most of the time i think you get 0 calls, and even if you do get called, you'll likely be flipping in my opinion.

get em in the middle, lots out there already and you want to take it

Thanks for the replies so far, everyone. I'd like to get some more input though as it's kind of on the fence right now between shoving and calling. Hopefully a definite favorite will emerge after awhile...
