Ok I removed them.

Why are you folding here preflop when you know you will be paid bigtime for a little risk if you hit the flop?

You can only be playing mid-pairs for set value early. I'd fold preflop. But since you hit this magical card, with that flop, I'd push it.

"A little risk" != Calling a re-raise of 5BB.

I did it because of what I was about to gain if a T came on the flop and it was only 10% of my stack. No biggie since I know I will get those chips back by outplaying them later on.

So you would also do this with 22? Do you always play pocket pairs this way? Seems like you will be losing more chips than you gain in the long run this way.

You're missing the most important issue that makes this a fold, that there's a good chance the initial raiser will 3-bet the reraiser. This makes it an easy fold.

Yep, 100% correct.

TT and higher. The rest is autofold here. AA or KK would have been played differently tho.
