I think I over value TT PF. How should I be playing it?
Note: in both hands I had TT. I just copied this over from my operation thread and didn't think of it until I had already closed HH converter with hands in it, and I don't want to dig through my raw HH's looking for these two hands.
In this first hand I think he's only 3-betting with JJ+ AQ or AK. (But why would he raise so big? That's the part that really gets me. If he wanted action he could have 3-bet smaller, or just smooth called and made a big bet on the flop) I had JUST sat down at table so was my first hand with him. My only options were 4-bet shove or fold out. 4-betting seemed like a spewy line to take so I folded it out.

Lo and behold! Two hands later I get TT again on a new table. I would definitely have called the short stacks shove for .18 cents, but once the other guy shoves over I have to fold. What kind of hand should I expect for him to show up with here? Would I still be fine putting all my chips in against 2 all ins? Again it seemed like a really spewy line to take just shoving all of it PF with TT against two unknowns PF.
Against SS's range I think I'm doing ok for the most part. He might just be shoving two overs or a smaller PP. Obviously a bigger PP isn't out of the question, but for 9BB's more I don't think I'm going to fold.
Against UTG+1's range I think I'm going to be behind most of the time just for the simple fact that he raised a decent amount OOP. I figured I had to give him credit for a bigger PP or otherwise we would be in a coinflip situation and I didn't feel like flipping for stacks against two opponents.
