Default $50NL (6-max) play with big pairs

This my first SSNL post, so if this is trivial I am sorry. $50 (6-max) NL table. Hero has roughly $40 , QQ, and raised to $2.50. Villain (about $25) raises to $10 with xx. He is not very tight but not a maniac either. He is probably trying to isolate and I put him on a range of TT+ and AK. What is hero's line? I do not expect him to fold to fold preflop. I feel like if I just call I won't get much action unless I am beat. Do you call here or push and why? Would you call/push with JJ? TT? Thanks in advance

Fold or push. Calling out of the question. It depends on reads for the most part. I would likely push as a default. JJ the same as a default, but given your stated read, I would fold. TT fold as well.

PS. Reload and top off your stack when you get that low.

Push. Of the 41 different combinations of hand you put him on, you are way behind 12, a coin-flip against 16, crushing 12 and splitting w/1.
Tens and Jacks get folded.

Really, you would suggest reloading even when I have $40 out of a max of $50 in my stack. I knew it was suggested to always bring the max to the table but I should reload frequently if I dip a little below my initial buy-in?
