If you squeeze then make it 18-22$ PF.

Flop I usually bet a little more to show strength (you only have Tens !!).

Make it more cause of one more limper or always that big?

Your reraise sizing is very small. You should be making it something near $18 preflop, by adding money to your reraise size for each player that is already in the pot

A reraise is fine, and pretty standard here, unless the initial pre flop raiser is very tight and 1010 is far behind his opening range. As played, on the flop, betting a tiny bit more is fine, but this is such a dry flop that you really dont need to bet much more.

I call preflop. If you have a tight image you're turning your TT into a bluff (playing for set value). I would be more inclined to squeeze marginal hands in this situation, but I wouldn't ever do it without read on pfr and the callers.

Why don't you have a full stack?
I guess both options, calling and raising, are reasonable - obviously depending on the reads/stats you have on the pfr. Against an unknown I'd still prefer to just call, as you are probably a dog against his calling range and might run into some awkward spots postflop.

I think there are two ways to play this from the BB. Larger Preflop Raise, to 18-20 or so. 10s are one of the worse hands to get limpy with. You have very (censored) position, money already in the pot, and it wouldn't be horrible to take this down preflop or play a heads up pot with dead money. If you aren't going to try to fold the callers and collect dead money, you might as well just call preflop and play for set value. Of course, your 10s just became the equivalent of 2s or 3s.

My point is that the way you played it, with a half-hearted raise against a big field, is asking for a multi-way pot in bad postion with a vulneable hand that plays better heads up.

With the given stack size, I would have raised to ~20....And with that flop and what's left I pot it or shove....
