Default TT facing a overbet from loose player on the flop

Tournament is the stars 20$ 10k Guaranteed, villain was 55.8/20.5/4 over 40 hands. He got his stack from pf all-ins with TT and AK. I have played one hand with him where I raised with QQ from position and he called from the blinds. Flop came A-high and I checked behind him. Turn was J, he bet smallish and I called, river was brick and we checked. He showed 44.

Your missing the point with that first hand, villian took a stab with 44, yes, but he probably would have done this with almost any 2, it is just that, a stab, the thing that you need to be aware of from that first hand is that you showed the entire table that your post flop play is weak, which is far more important to the second hand then what villian showed, I personally would take this oppurtunity to challenge my opponent here, But I AM NOT recommending that to most people...

(Just wanted to point out if the villian payed attention at all in hand 1 he bets you off your hand here knowing that you probably missed, or do not like that flop unless you have the jack)

I would have folded this hand too, you said he has accumulated his chips by going all in, this looks like he has the nuts and he wants someone with top pair or a donk to pay him off. Nice fold.

I fold this. Wait for a better spot to get your chips in middle.

This is a tough spot for me, as I considered a call very strongly. If you call, you have position and the ability to re-evaluate based on reads and his betting. Then again, if a KQA falls on the turn, and he double barrels, you have to fold. Because of that, I grunt, maybe tear up a bit, and fold.

This is a good size overbet, villian looks willing to go to the felt. Its a J so often I usually pack it up a fold. QT,A9 and 88 are possible. If you have reason to believe those comprise his pf range then you could jam over on him.
Calling is gross.
