Hero has 13bb (39K at 1500/3000) 3 from the money (171 cash) of the Bovada Sunday main $162 100K with TT in the hijack of an unopened pot. Top heavy payout structure, $282 min cash. Whats the play here, open shove, or open fold to a shove?

Probably a fold for $, but shoving isn't too far wrong. How big are the stacks behind us?

Two stacks behind us with 20+bb that could call my shove and still cash if they lost. cutoff had 65K, bb had 75K.

Wouldn't fault you for just raising 2x and trying to maneuver postflop, but you're almost surely getting called by worse and your hand is vulnerable enough to where it also wouldn't surprise me if the highest $EV play is to just shove.

But open folding without even VPIPing is just criminal.

I see nothing wrong with just ripping 13 bbs in pre. If you min open, you have to call a jam also I feel.

I don’t mind min opening but 10-10 is awkard to play postflop so shallow so I would normally just jam pre here bc it’s never wrong I feel. Opening small though isn’t too bad I guess though..... just think it could be awkard to play postflop if a higher card shows up on flop.

Very easy shove. I agree you can tighten up somewhat on the bubble, but for me that would mean taking hands like A2-A8o or K8/K9o out of my shoving range. TT is just way too strong to ever consider folding here.
