shove preflop to avoid problems, as played flop is very draw heavy, I would not recommend calling any bets after villain has lead out.

Calling preflop does not look like a good idea (too expensive) and he probably needs to be quite loose for the push to be really good.

I'd fold except against a loose raiser where I push.

As played preflop, I like your line.

With M = 20, you can't call 4BB raise with TT?
what if we had position? is that a call then?
What about JJ?
What about QQ-AA? do you push or just do a stop&go (if no high card lands on flop)

Obvisouly you can if you want but it's really expensive to play TT OOP.

I'd push JJ+ against an unknown.

Same here: JJ is an easy push, TT is an annoying fold.
I certainly can't imagine pushing 99 here. So when not pushing 99 is clearer than pushing JJ I opt for not pushing TT.

I often use this method (looking at a better and (almost) equally worse hand) when in doubt and don't see why it shouldn't be correct.
