Default $20, Quick TT question

Moved to this table about 10 hands ago, played one hand, AQs on the button when it was folded to me, I raised and blinds folded. I've seen MP1 limp once then min bet the flop. Button has played a few pots but I dont remember what or how.

My reasoning is MP1 probably has a wide range, most PP and Ak-AJ type hands. And shortstack button has some crap like KJ or the other hands I mentioned. So is this a fold or a push?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t4310)
Button (t970)
HERO(t6405)
BB (t1526)
UTG (t4108)
UTG+1 (t1224)
MP1 (t3585)
MP2 (t1367)
MP3 (t3560)

Preflop:
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t970</font>, <font color="#CC3333">HERO raises to t6405</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t3385 (All-In).

Flop: (t11060) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t11060) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t11060) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t11060

I know I push this here most of the time mostly because I hate folding or flatcalling this but it always feels like my risk/reward is really bad. The more I encounter situations like this the more I like the idea of just folding here - someone tell me I am a weak-tight nit please

I would never fold this. The All in is fine. You want to play your Tens against 1 player for a small pot that won't hurt you much if you get beat. I could be way off, but I don't mind a call in this spot either. The Button is all-in and will tend to get MP1 to just call also. If the flop brings lots of big cards you'll either be able to check it down or get out of the hand. If the flop brings low cards or gives you a set you can work on a side pot with MP1.

I push here, 1100 in the pot, way ahead of shortstacks range and the original raiser could have anything.
