I fold. Blinds 10/15? Stacks 800? Calling over 1/8th of your stack or pushing against AK-AJ-AA-JJ when you hold TT?

Your range is way too tight. You're giving your opponents WAY too much credit.

I fold but an argument could be made for calling I guess?

Ok, I'll open it up to AK-AT, KQ, AA-77. I don't see it getting any looser than that. There are still 6 people to act behind you and you'll have to flop an overpair to feel even the least bit comfortable.

Yes, that range is far too large.

However, expanding that to a proper donk range still doesn't make TT worth calling 125 in this spot.

Woops, should have said that.

And, have you seen the hands people show down? AK-AT, KQ, AA-55 is way too tight as well. Probably still not worth calling 125 to see a flop though.

my thought was, the 10s might as well be a smaller pair. If I don't get a set on the flop, I probably have to fold (maybe 789 is an ok flopage).

I just couldn't see a move to make. Can't come over the top, might be dominated. Plus, there is NO dead money in the pot (only 15 in blinds).

Yeah , like I said, I fold.

What about JJ, fold also?

No way I am folding QQ here. TT fold and JJ I am not sure.
