How would you play this?

Home game NLHE. My image is tight. I'm in the small blind with an M~10 or 11. A player with a big stack who has been coming in for a 3X BB raise virtually every hand comes in for 3X BB, a guy who has no clue (a few hands ago played Q4s from UTG and raped somebody when he turned 2 pr) just calls. It is folded to me and I look down at pocket 10s. I push. Initial raiser goes all in over top and dumb guy folds. I know I'm in trouble... he tables QQ and I'm out. As it played down the flop was all low cards so had I called the raise I would have pushed on that flop. Anybody do anything differently? I think folding and calling is for bitches here given the players involved in the hand, but I also ended up riding the pine.

  • looks like you were goin all-in anyway, maybe you could've picked up a tell if you slowed down a bit? I don't know your stack size, but generally you do not want to get involved with chip leaders without premium hands.
  • No other way to play it. You weren't pushing him off since you had little fold equity to his stack and he was already in for 3/10ths of yours. When you get around or below 10xBB just look for a good hand and make a stand.
