i'd like some general advice on TT .. i find it similar to JJ, yes it can win but it gets beat very easily... in this situation or in general, how do you approach it. do you re-raise preflop (i folded due to big raise (turns out he had AQ)) and having very bad position...

Unless rdraider is a known lagg or maniac or fish, that's a tough call preflop. It's definitely not worth raising. If you end up calling, you need to be able to be able to pretty much take his whole stack in order to make that a profitable call. I'd say it looks like a good fold to me.

Based on the post flop play, I'd say your fold was good in that you are likely up against a bigger pocket pair.

Greedo017 is on a distinguished road
 ordinarily, i would've called here, but all of your stacks are tiny, at ultimate bet is the max buy-in 50xBB?

no, UB actually is one of the few where you can max buyin 100xBB
so $50 for 25c/50c game

Limping TT is weak in my opinion. I play TT almost like I play KK'
AA, but with a little bit less aggresiveness.

Call the raise and try to set. Implied odds are huge there.

[edit] Cancel that. His stack sucks. This fold is fine.

With 10s, I would have limped here too, great implied odds. Although I guess his stack was sort of small for the buyin, thought you were playing 25$ NL.. Boarderline hand between calling and folding.
