    I presume you are talking about pre-flop here.  I personally would have re raised him, i wouldn't want to risk my entire stack(if i shoved all in) with this hand. On the other hand a LAG may 4 bet you here and then you would have to make the laydown, so i guess there are arguments for both. Maybe a better player who doesn't sit on the fence as much as me may be able to give you better advice lol!!

    I'd shove preflop as I personlly don't like messing around. When you just call you need a good flop which is hard with tens but you got it and got your money in as a favorite so just a bad beat after that.

    It's level 1, you're way too deep to be getting it all-in pre-flop with 100BB and your medium pair.

    I'd recommend keeping it fairly tight and ABC at this stage. Is it really worth putting your whole tournament on the line with TT against such an aggresive line in the first few minutes? I think your pre-flop raise is fine, but without a specific read I fold to either the pre-flop 3-bet or the pot-sized donk bet unless I've flopped my set. If this guy is very LAG you have plenty of time to wait for a better spot to stack him.

    i actually think you played the hand fine, if the villain was a nit or you had no reads then i would be unsure whether my 10's were good post flop and would fold to his donk bet this early on but as you say he was a lag then i would feel fairly sure that my hand was good and with 2 cards to come you were indeed a big fav and just ul
