oh... cuz the title of your post is "Stuck in the middle of a straddle.."
I don't think Tens are strong enough to shove pre-flop, or weak enough to fold. Reraising or squeezing only makes you build a pot oop - which is the worst way to play poker with a middle pocket pair.
Sure - you can hope for a set. But there will be many baby flops that you can play, in which you are ahead. The question you'll be asking is whether you think V1 or V2 has a bigger pocket pair on a small board. And that's where hand reading comes in.
