Tens on the button

[housenuts]

How do you play Tens on the button in this situation? Unfortunately I ran into aces, but there was a large number of hands that may have re-raised me. I was scared of a re-raise and wasn't sure what I would do if it happened. Would you say it's best to push, flat call, raise like I did? I don't think folding is really an option.

I'd say screw the 10xBB rule and simply push this one preflop. If your 300 bet gets called the rest of the hand will probably be tough to play. Obviously you call the all-in.
