Was playing the daily dollar on full tilt.
Picked up TT in MP, and made a standard raise to 300 (blinds 50-100).
One player behind me called.
Now the player on BB quickly pushed all-in for 4k. I had 12k and the caller behind me had around 5k.
I put the all-in player on Ax, any suited connector, any 2 brodwaycards, any pair.
The problem was basicly the player behind me.
He had played quite tight, and I didnt have any special reads on him.
Should I fold, or call?

It's a tough call, you aren't pot committed at all though so my opinion would be to fold and let those two duke it out.
Quick all in pushes are typically donk moves and even though he might not have you beat, it's really a coin flip situation.
Normally with TT I try to see the flop cheap and see if I can flop a set because a pair isn't really too powerful of a hand.

I doubt tight dude's range is too strong, unless he's trapping. I think he's either going to fold some PP or call and have AQ+,JJ-99, maybe some QQ. So I shove and not leave any behind pf.
If he folds, we're up against the donk, which is good.
If he calls, we have a good amount of equity and we nearly triple our investment when we win.

The more I think about it the more I think it was a call. I ended up calling.

I'd probably fold and save those chips for later.
He could easily have you dominated.
At best it's a race...

Why do you all do what you do? Serious lack of ranges here.

Agree. Not so difficult to put the all-in player on a range here, but the player who just flat calls behind.
In those low buyin tourneys with 10000+ players are you seldom if ever will have any info about the opponents, other than the few hands u have just played.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
