Default Refresh my memory on simple decision, $2/$5 NL live

I get dealt black tens on the button in a 8-handed game, 2 limpers from EP, I raise to $32 from the button, guy in BB raises to $67, he has about $100 behind(I have $500 or so). Folded around to me. Guy has been playing loose and aggressive, bought in short for $100 and reraised me AI with eights when I lead for $25 from EP and hit a set. He is likely fundamentally sound and it looked to me at the time like he was trying to trap with a big hand. I'm guessing hand range is AQ/AK/TT+, unless I'm underestimating him. If I'm going to proceed with my hand it would be better to go AI preflop than just call his min-raise, right? If villain was a nit, I would be more inclined to call rather than push. But in this case if I call I suspect he will make a continuation bet on the flop on around 70% of flops (which will make him pot-committed). Shortstacks give me trouble sometimes, thanks in advance, aware this is a LC thread.

OK I agree he's no Helmuth, his min-raise preflop isn't good, but you get my point, his range is ahead of my hand, he ain't bluffing is all I'm saying

Either 4 bet him AI, or fold. I lean toward pushing since you are ahead of a decent portion of his range (I would put him 77+, AJ+) and it is good for your table image.

You seem fundamentally sound.
