Poker: TT early in tourney and position

[MNBridge]

Let me know if you get sick of these posts I just like the discussion.

Blinds 10 / 15
$50 Sit and Go NL

You are in early position get dealt TT.

What now?

What I did: Raised to 75. Middle postion made it 200. (everyone else folds)

What now?

I called.

Flop rags. He has 460 left you have 725 left.

What now?

I go all in get called by QQ.

(If you didn't go all in here what do you do when he goes all in?)

Luckily the player who called had lost the first hand and I had 165 chips left. And managed to come back and take third (same tourney as AK post).

I was kind of thinking he might be one of those people who couldn't wait to get to another tourney and would do the same with any Ace. Not that I would have played it any differently without that knowledge.

2 hands later I got dealt QQ in BB and ended up all in against AA :shake:

Luckily I flopped Quads!

Early position with a full table, I play TT like a lower pair - get in cheap and hope for a set. Would have folded to his raise.

I do the same. The problem I have is if no over-card flops, and someone comes in with a raise. Do I assume they have top pair, or bigger set of pockets? Any thoughts on this?

Please continue with the posts. They are VERY easy to ready (unlike those hand histories).

TT is tough. I either play it like a small pair (usually from late position after a bunch of limpers) or I play it fast (usually when I'm first into the pot). I can't say I would have played the hand any differently.
