Default Re: Critique my play here

1. My raise amount.

At this blind level, I think raising preflop from the BB with TT is a mistake. There is a significant drop in the value of TT from JJ. With JJ I think it's an excellent play facing a bunch of limpers. Still, your raise isn't all bad.

But... you raised far too little. It would have been better to raise it up to about 165 (what I would do) or as high as 200. Nobody is folding for that amount, and you're not trying to build a pot here with TT. This isn't limit, and additionally, it's a tournament.

2. My bet amount on the flop.

Too small. 125 is about half the pot. This gives flush draws and possible straight draws the right implied odds to call. Make it more like 175-pot. I prefer 175. Betting the pot doesn't give your opponents a chance to make a mistake. But betting the pot isn't wrong.

3. My call of the all in.

I think it's fine, especially at the $11's. Nice hand.
