I think it's a very good fold on the flop (one that very few players are capable of making, too).

As pretty as TT is when you're dealt it, you have to fold it here pre-flop, once the pot was raised to you. Look what a horrible positon you are in with regards to your pot and implied odds. Your position relative to the raiser is the worst possible...when you smooth call, you have no idea how many of the 5 remaining opponents will call, making a pot-odds calculation with your medium PP impossible. You also don't know if any of them will re-raise, which you definitely shouldn't be calling.

As far as implied odds go, even if you assume you'll be able to double up through the raiser if you make your set, his raise cuts your implied odds from 52-1 (if you were able to limp for 15 and try to make your set) all the way to around 10-1 (790/75...and not knowing what the other opponents will do).

To not fold here is to leak chips.
