Default ($11 rebuys) Should I push TT here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

SB (t16115)
BB (t15610)
UTG (t15635)
UTG+1 (t27092)
MP1 (t8895)
Hero (t11500)
MP3 (t70480)
CO (t11581)
Button (t35862)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t5600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero..


When villain overbets preflop (And he has been overbetting everything lately), so far its been AK and a couple AJo's. He's doubled A3o on the dealer (the one hand where he didnt raise 5+ BB's) against my BB at 100/200 or something and he's limped at 400/800 in MP with hands like JTs and A7s. Hasn't shown a monster. Still far from bubble play.

Well, if he made a standard 3 times raise to 2400 you would have to push, so if his M.O is overbets you still gotta go with it and push.

If you're confident that this betting amount is an unpaired AJ+, then I'd push into him.

Realize you have no folding equity when doing it. But with an M of 10, this isn't a bad spot to get your $$$ in.

What's the tourney average chip count?
Do you have easy stealing opportunities?
Are there enough "live" ones at your table?
Are you desperate enough that you're ready to take an EVEN 50/50 coinflip for all your chips?

These are the questions you probably want to ask yourself before putting all your chips into a protected pot where you have a coinflip. Depending on your answers - shove or fold. I personally usually shove here because I like to gamble.

1. 20-24k?
2. No. I have a short stack and a reckless big stack behind me every time on my dealer.
3. No.
4. Yeah sure.

With Zero fold equity, I would consider a pass here.

I would rather be first in than calling a raise - best outcome a coin flip?

Actually, if the vilain opens a lot of pots he probably raises with 22-99 too.
