general question: TT in the blinds

[Roswell]

In a typical Party ring game 15/30 and up, what would you do with TT:

1)in the small blind, when there is a late position raise AND reraise (i.e. you have to call 2.5 bets cold)
2)in the big blind, same situation (2 bets cold)

Raise and bet the flop

[Jailhouse]

Definately a raise or fold situation depending on your opponents. Typically I think it is a re-raise from both the sb and bb.

[Fianchetto]

As usual, "it depends"

Since both raises came from late position, folding is not an option in my mind.

I think capping has merit, especially from the SB, as you will likely drive out the BB, or if you think the original raiser will drop out preflop for two more cold, then you can get it heads up with the LP re-raiser.

Otherwise, I think a better line may be to just call preflop, and checkraise any favorable flop. You'll be able to protect your hand better this way as opposed to capping when you're almost forced to bet the flop out of position in a large 3-way pot.
