icky. plenty of poker to play, don't go crazy. I'd probably call and see a flop.

I don't know. TT 3-handed is certainly good enough for the OP to tell the button/chip leader not to F with his BB. In this spot the villian's raising range is huge. I definitely agree with reraising. All-in gives you the best chance to take it down without having to face an overcard flop OOP. If he calls, expect to be ahead the LARGE majority of the time.

TT is a very strong hand ITM but the blinds are so low that a push will (assuming sanity in villain) only be called by huge hands.

But lets say I would re-raise to 900 and be willing to call a push. I don't really see how that approach would keep me out of trouble any more than yours did.

i kinda like it, unless u know that villian is kinda tight

i think he folds a large amount of the time...and you face 1/2 overs or lower pp a lot of the times he calls you

there is only a 2% chance he has aa/kk/qq/jj (well, more than 2% since he raised, thus eliminating some hands from his likely holdings, unless he's a lag that raises with any 2 here)

With blinds of that size against the chipleader, I think I would either re-raise or call and then evaluate where I stand from there.

If the blinds were any higher or I was against #3 in chips, I love the aggression and the push.

I push here. You have to at least re-raise, and if you are called after making it 1000-1200, you are OOP and have no idea where you stand if any overcard flops, which it will two thirds of the time. Then you're just pushing and hoping or checking and folding, the latter of which is weak. Even at the $22s, villains will call here surprisingly often with stuff you dominate (Ax, smaller pairs, even a broadway card with a ten). Maybe I'm a pansy post-flop, but that's what I would do here.
