$1r midstage - fold TT here?

Table has played loose. Villain has been loose passive, 20/5 over 20 hands. My image at the table is LAG, having become a little more aggressive near the end of the rebuy period in the attempts to build a stack. Within the last ten hands, I lost A10<QK against a shortie and called all in and won with TT>A7 against a LAG at the table. Since then, I've shoved a couple hands (AQs and TT) and stolen the blinds a couple times.

BTN: BB = 15.9, t47652
SB: BB = 5.4, t16060
Hero (BB): BB = 15.1, t45336
UTG: BB = 10.5, t31625
UTG+1: BB = 7.0, t20894
UTG+2: BB = 11.4, t34191
MP1: BB = 8.6, t25783
MP2: BB = 52.3, t157035
CO: BB = 12.4, t37250

Pre Flop: (t7200) Hero is BB with T of diamonds T of clubs
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t20594 all in, 6 folds

What kind of range are we putting our opponent on here? Villain's PFR percentage is low, but I felt like I couldn't fold TT, particularly in a $1 rebuy. Is this a bad call?

Personally i think he's pushing alot of hands there at this stage. I would be pushing Ax, 22+, and kj+ probably. He's so short, and these tournaments are so fast, I'm putting it in here thinking I'm ahead of his range most of the time, otherwise it's a coinflip. And to win these tournies, it's a matter of winning most of your flips IMO.

These are the opportunities I look for in these tournaments. I know I'm going to have to get lucky alot in this tourny, but you could very well be ahead of his range here. Plus you're not going to be knocked out if you lose this one.

I could be wrong though, but I would def be calling here if you're just HU with this guy.

With these stakes and his stack size, I have no problem making the call. I think you are ahead here and just have to avoid a suckout, but if your on the wrong side of the win, your still in the game. In the long run, in the same situation, I think you end up with the stack a mjority of the time.

very easy call.

just think about it, he's not folding any pair and shoving tons of big cards and suited connectors and suited cards, etc. you are crushing his range.

Call is good for sure.

His range includes a ton of smaller pairs and a lot of different combinations of overpairs to your TT. Against his range it is the right call for sure.

If it didnt work out for you…remember not to be results oriented. If you made this call everytime in this spot it is going to be profitable.

+1 TT is such a snap call here.
