the turn card gave me courage...
Hand 1: 5-10 full game
I have 1k in sb w/ TT. button makes steal raise to $40, I reraise to $170, BB calls!!!, button folds. Flop is Jxx, I was about to check fold, but couldn't help myself betting out ~ 1/2 pot for $200. BB calls. next card is a blank. I check, he bets $400, I fold. a couple hands later... ---------------------------------------------------------- Hand 2: 5-10 full game and I have 77h in CO. Normal raiser raises to $40 in MP. I call ($600 - all have me covered). SB calls. flop is 2x4h5h. MP makes a small continuation bet of $50. I decide to see if he has high cards or a pair and raise him to $150, expecting to take the pot down right there. SB folds quickly, MP thinks and calls. crap, I'm done w/ the hand probably. Turn: 6h He checks, I push... comments on flop / turn play? what about hand 1 - is this just a check fold w/ no read on BB? What about my resteal w/ TT? I usually don't make this play, but that stupid 99 hand from ciaffone rueben book was going through my head at the time...

Did you forget the part about betting the pot on the flop, as opposed to about 1/2 of the pot.?

Re: the turn card gave me courage...
"The BB called, not the button - if the button calls, then I can bet the pot if I feel like I need to. the BB cold calling a reraise is much scarier. He had at least QQ."
Sorry I misread and did think it was the button who called you. I think it's ok to reraise with a hand such as 10 10 out of the blinds from time to time. I sometimes do it, but most of the time I would just call. I have done it too often in the past and it can be costly. When I'm doing it a lot though, it does tend to set me up well for a double through when I have a big hand. Depending on how often the button raises, of course, would determine how often I'd reraise with a hand like 10 10 or even a lesser hand on a steal. As the hand played out, I think a check on the flop would be the best play.
