I don't like the small pfr after three limpers with TT. You can expect them to come along since you gave them good odds, and there are too many flops that will give you second (or third) pair to be building the pot preflop. If you play TT for set value, just limp. If you play it for overpair value too (which is risky at this stage of the game), you are still better off limping. Second best would be a raise that takes the pot right there or gets you a single caller. That's probably going to be a 6 - 7x raise.

I would not call the all-in because I think you are behind the pusher's range of hands. If you are willing to call an all-in, then you are better off pushing first.

Preflop I would play for set value, so just limp. If I were a little tilty and wanted to raise, I would raise to about 150.

Assuming preflop went as it did, I would bet 200-250 on the flop.

The reraise is tough and I hope I have a read on this player. If they had been in a lot of pots, raising sometimes, limping others, I would be satisfied that no raise preflop meant no pocket pair.

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.

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

[SuitedSixes]

Pretty much what everybody else says,
-Limp pre-flop.
-Pot-sized bet on the flop.
-Call the all-in
-Profit
