Please give me some critique on how this should be played? I'll try to give as much info as I can.

Live NL Tourney. 27 Players left (3 tables of 9).
Blinds are 1000/2000 with a 100 ante.

I have just been moved to a new table and have only seen 3 hands.
Villian is chip leader of entire tournament and has raised all 3 hands that I've seen. 2 of the 3 he has lost to smaller all-ins. 1 he has raised but then he and the other caller checked down and he won with bottom pair.

I have 21,700. I am in the big blind. So, after BB and ante I have 19,600 left.

Villian is in position 3. It folds to him and he raises to 6,000. It folds around to me.

I have 10-10.

What's my play?

re-raise all in

Ditto

You have to re-raise all in.

Either an all in or a fold.

Unless you had a read that he had a lower pair or something.

And next time post this in Tournament Play.

Reraise all-in.

Okay....so pretty much everyone says "reraise all in"...

That's exactly what I did. I reraise all in for 21,600.

I have 10-10. He turns over A-K. I actually didn't expect him to have this good after raising the last 3 pots.

Flop: J-J-4
Turn: 7
River: A

So, he outdrew me, knocked me out, it happens.

What I find intersting is that after I got knocked out, I was talking to a friend of mine who is a tournament pro. He was the tournament director of this tourney and had watched the whole thing. His take on it was that, since I was still fairly new to the table and hadn't seen this guy play that much, that I should have just called the 4,000 more and saw the flop. Then after the flop reaccessed. Then I could either go all in or check to see what the other guy does.

I'm not saying he's right or wrong, or that everyone who responded is right or wrong. I just find it interesting that no one else had any opinion other than all in (which was also my opinion).

And when the flop comes Q 8 4, then what?

He goes all in. Do you call?

Or are you only calling when there are no overcards.

10 BB left, you have pocket tens against a chipleader who is correctly playing a blind-stealing game (and will sometimes pick up a reasonable hand?) are you serious? would you have posted this had you won the hand?


EDIT: You DONT want a call here. Push is the only move. The Villain will often fold his hand (say he had KJ or a crappy Ace or something) if he's reasonably intelligent so he can continue to pick off the blinds and antes and also avoid having a short stack double through him. If you fold here, you only have a few more orbits before you are going to have to push immediately with any two once people fold around to you.

I agree that the all-in was the best move.

I was only stating that someone else had talked about the other side of the coin, and was wondering what others thought of that other side.

Okay, with TT in your hand you have 10BB left, 2 more BB to call his raise, leaves you with 8BB. If you fold to overs Your in SB next hand, so if you end up with crap, you probably have to fold, which leaves you with 7.5ishBB and 8 more hands to find a better spot to push than with your TT. if you dont find a hand by the time the BB comes around to you , you pretty much have to push with any 2 decent playable cards.
Your much better pushing when you have some chips(even if you are shortstacked). As well when your down to 10BB your pretty much Push or fold mode anyway. Waking up to TT what are you waiting for?

I dont mind calling to see a flop if you have a larger stack, but with a shortstack and out of position your looking to get outplayed.
