Raise smaller or let him bet into you with the likely best hand.

TT isn't good when a J,Q,K,A or you see 2-broadway cards, no?

[xorbie]

TT probably not the best hand to do this with.

[zaphod]

Does this mean that you think this is a ok move with a stronger hand? If so how much stronger?

[xorbie]

QQ+

Aye, limpreraising with TT is... meh. The best possible result is that you win the pot preflop. In that case, you've won... oh, $16 bucks or so. And you risked $30 to do it.
Worst case, you get re-reraised, and you're screwed.
second worst case, you get called. Are there any flops without a T that you're really comfortable with OOP?

Save this fancy play for QQ+, use TT and below to stack him when you hit your set.

Thanks for your replies.
Yes i think you are probably right guys, that this play was too fancy- high risk, not enough award.

What made me think that it might have been a good play at the time was that button and BB was very aggro preflop, meaning my TT would be better than a bunch of their raising hands.

Here was the possible scenarios when i raised to 29:

-Hopefully everybody will fold, this gives me a nice pot.
-All fold except BB, who calls or raises. This is also ok
since i think his range is quite big.
-Button calls. This is not good.
- Co or MP calls. This is very bad, and i am likely behind.
-I get more than one caller. This is also very bad.

The good thing about my big reraise is thoose of my opponents that might be thinking would put me on a strong hand, probably AA or KK. So MP or CO will mostly get out of the way, and i also think button would need a decent hand to call me here, leaving BB as the person who would most likely give me action.

Obviously if the action preflop had been a bunch of limpers, i would have to play carefully.

How much would you raise then? I thought TT was a very vurnable hand if i got more than one caller. My thought was that i wanted to isolate vs the BB or take the pot down. If i get heads up vs BB he is almost all in already, so i guess i am not laying down my hand no matter what.
There is already quite a bit of money in the pot.
Also i thought that there was a good chance that the buttons hand did not stand a reraise since he was raising preflop so frequently.

This is not a standard play for me at all, but at the time it felt right vs this BB and button.

If i get called or raised by any of the other players i doubt that my hand is good.
