I call.

I can play the flop with skill and i have a stack at 1G if i have to fold.

Pushing forces you to risk 1300 for 600 when you will be 50/50 at best most of the time (occasionally they will have 77-99), but predominantly youre against an overpair of overcards, calling lets you see what kind of shape youre in without committing you.

Unless you think he'll fold to a push due to some read. In that case, push push push!

I don't think you need a specific read in order to think there is a good chance he will fold. He should not be auto-calling with any raising hand here.

Also, I think playing skillfully after the flop will be difficult at best against a much bigger stack at this point in the tournament. TT is too strong to throw away to any face card on the flop, and you can be pretty sure he will bet any of those. Finally, should you survive, pushing sends out a nice message about messing with your blinds.

With 13BB left i push this hand, if he calls and its a coinflip so be it. The times he has a higher pocket pair are balanced by the times he has a lower one.
