I think calling is better (at least, it's my default play with TT), but this should be fine.

I think you should muck very quickly over the top of the reraise, without knowing Villain is a donk.

I call the 45 and if you get pushed over the top I don't feel as annoyed by mucking.

I think you basically played it right, though your raise might have been a bit on the light side, but without a read on the villain, I'd muck and observe what goes on.

I see the value of a call since it's practically a limp, anyway, which is standard for TT that early. One factor in my decision, however, was that weak players will often limp with a wider variety of hands to experience the joy of busting another player.

I folded. The small stack showed 55 and Villian showed 88. That early though, it still seems prudent to wait for a better spot.
