Well, given the situation and your read I don't see how you can fold. People underestimate how fast the blinds move in this structure and 30BB becomes less than 10BB before you know it. You are a decent favorite over his range and if he has two overs, well you are gonna have to flip a coin a few times to win this tourney so no sense in ducking one here. I'm calling this relatively quickly....

Without reads I'd call after thinking about it. With your reads I call instantly.

If your playing to win this tourney than I think you call here and don't think twice about it. You have an edge to almost any two cards the villain has, PLUS you feel he is primed to make a move on you. If he has an overpair or sucks out on you with overcards so be it.

OK, cheers guys. At the time I was convinced I made the right call, it was the barrage of criticism I got afterwards that made me unsure. Having read all your responses I'm convinced its a good call, maybe a decent portion of the time I bust here but gotta gamble for the stack if I'm trying to win the tournament. FWIW villain rolled over 23o and my hand held up......

You took steps to set him up both on the table and in the comment box and now question what to do when you get the action that you wanted? I think you should have had the call any button checked before he got the chance to respond to your raise. You can't beat him into the pot but you should try.

Your detractors at the table aren't privey to your plans or the manipulation that you had underway so.......until they have walked a mile in your shoes....

Haven't read any of the comments or the results but I am sure that you won or we wouldn't be discussing it. With as much flack as you caught, I'm guessing that you rivered a T vs AA or KK. Anxious to see.

I would definitely lean towards calling without a read. TT in a 3 handed game is just too strong against the BBs likely range here.

He raised ~60XBB, Easy fold with TT.

Ignore the table talk, its designed to confuse you.
If villain was going to play the previous orbit he would have and it had nothing to do with your comment. In general I'd be surprised if you asked "are you ready to call?" when you were stealing with junk, so more times than not, you will have a playable hand (combined with your large bet).
