Default Re: Push TT this early?

Its unlikely that you're up against an overpair except maybe JJ, AA-QQ would probably reraise preflop, and JJ might too. However, there is a good chance that you're up against a set or 2 pair.

The leading bet for 90 smells like a draw, but theres no way to tell what the raise-push is, it could be a draw, 2 pair, or a set. In any case, you don't have a deep enough stack to charge draws without going all in, and I don't think your hand is strong enough to do that at this point. However, folding is a rather weak move too, as you have a decent chance of still having the best hand.

I'd recommend that you just call the push for 135. If the original better or the last player to act reraises, then you can fold knowing that you're beat. If he just calls, you're probably against a draw. If he checks any non-spade, non 4 or 9 turn, you can push and probably chase him off, and checking it down isnt a terrible play either, although he could hit his draw.
