What do I do here I dont want to call half my stack and have to play a flop with overs on board, i don't think I can fold, and if repush i need to be worried about trapping aa,kk etc. It seesm like there is no good option here.

I usually push. No one has shown tremendous strength. Not a great spot though.

Reads are pretty important on this one.

tough spot, you might have to get away from this one. this is why i prefer a limp with TT at this blind level, though it is only 7 handed so i can see an argument for raising.

I prefer limping in your spot because you have so many people to act behind you. Had you limped, the short stacked raised, and the big stack reraised enough to put him all-in, I think you would autofolded your Tens no question. I think raising with them would have been better in CO or on the button.
