Do you reraise, or call and play the T's for set value?

Call, but they have more than set value v a button raiser. I would plan on leading with an undercard flop, check raising a reasonable bet from a single non A overcard.

Keep in mind this is a $1.10 tourney, and the fact that Button had a limp in front and is shortstacked himself (but didn't push) all means there are a whole slew of hands in his range that are trouble for my TT postflop: JJ-AA, AJ-AK, KQs. Any overcard falling on the flop, which is likely, has a decent chance of connecting with his raising hand. I'm all for leading out on an undercard flop, but I'm not so sure about that check-raise on a non-A flop move.

No other input? I guess this hand wasn't as interesting as I thought...

You don't have to call and "play for set value" here. You can call and lead any flop J-high or under as well for around half the pot. If you meet any resistance on the flop slow down / fold.A lot may tell you to raise or fold here... but I'm quite against building big pots OOP.

There is very, very little you are behind at this point and a whole slew of hands you are ahead of. This is a push or fold in my book. I would actually lean toward *folding* here....Playing for set value is meh... If they are holding a lower PP, low flops are death for us and we go broke. If they hold a higher PP, we also go broke. If we flop our 2-outer, we are comfortable. We also don't close off the action here.. The EP limper may be the one that has the hand that puts us in danger, either by holding a monster or simply not believing the button has a hand.I'm certainly not saying my way is the right way, but I would rather push and give myself an extra chance to win the pot than to call and essentially hand off 15% of my stack on a set-mining mission. There are few safe flops for TT multi-way.

You're not by any means deep enough to play for set value. In a $1.10 I prolly shove, if you get called and lose, you still have 10 BBs
