Default TT, $5, 4th hand vs maniac & smoothcall

UTG+1 arrived at hand #3, then jammed all 1620 chips. No read on MP1.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t2970)
UTG+1 (t1650)
MP1 (t3000)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t1650</font>, MP1 calls t1650,

Hero???

Were I MP1, I would've repopped with 99-JJ, AQ/AK, but smoothcalled with QQ+, so I was a bit lost with TT.

Call and jam/call any low flop? Call and c/f any flop with two broadway?

What does hero do with 99/AK? with JJ-AA?

Thank you!

If this is hand 4 and villian just arrived, where did his money go? With no read on MP1 I think that this is a clear fold. If you were heads up, a clear push to get the blinds out.

Two villains. The one who pushed just arrived, presumably losing half his stack at another table in one of the first two hands, and gaining thirty chips in the third hand.

After villain1 pushed his second consecutive hand, villain2 smoothcalled for half his stack. Is villain2 a bit of a table captain who stands up to a donkey's pushfest with something like 88/AJ? Or is he trapping any takers with a monster? What if this were a $10 or $20+ MTT? I so desperately want to push this in a $5.
