Default TT facing all-in bet (early)

Hi here's an easy one for most of you but it's been bothering me for a while.

1. Should I RR all-in the below all-in with TT and pretty much go broke?
2. If not, should I push with JJ and pretty much go broke?

The raiser did this all-in once before but no other reads. I put him on AQ+,TT-QQ,AJs+,and maybe KQ.
Actually, I didnt put him on AA,KK as I think he'd have played them a bit slowly.

TT vs {AQ+,TT-QQ,AJs+,and maybe KQ}---> 1:1, so I called but it feels like it is too less of an edge

Depends on a few things;

Buy in of the tournament ($1 I call AJ, $50 I throw away AK)
Starting stacks in relation to the blinds
How fast the blinds increase

For the most part I throw away 10s and Js, call with QQ+

Goes all-in. Seriously, you think he's open jamming almost 14 BBs with QQ+? That would be a bit odd wouldn't it. So we're behind like one hand, JJ (in fairness this could be QQ too, but it's rarely that, and KK+ like never,) and ahead of like 66-99, and all the unpaired hands that he could do this with.

OP I think a mistake you made in your ranges is not including underpairs, at least 88 and 99, which I feel are very much a part of villain's range. I think 66 and 77 are too, but you could argue that they may not be.

This is almost always a mid pair or AQ, AK (sometimes even weaker aces). As mentioned, you can only be afraid of JJ.

A lot of weak players tend to get panicky with a 15 - 20 BB stack. It's awkward to play with that stack for noobs, so they just treat it as if they're short stacked and move in or fold.

I re-raise all-in with TT in this situation.

I posted this before the hand history was up and as the post tittle said early I assumed around 100 BB's.

Now that I can see its under 20 BB's it's an easy call.
