May seem standard....1010 in an 18 man

This may seem like a no brainer. However, ive been in this spot insta shoving a lot lately and usually been up against a better pair.
I got raised and im on the button with these two tens with 4 ppl getting paid(8 left). I immediately think oh no, he has two jacks. Instead of shoving out of frustration or folding weak, (ive been doing both a lot lately) I honestly thought for a long time. I usually act pretty quickly unless the decision is actually challenging(at least in my eyes)

Anyways what Im getting at is, i thought about the pros and cons of just calling and knew that wasnt an option. folding seemed really weak. Raising seemed pretty dangerous because i didnt want to flip for my tourney so close to the bubble when im in decent position to cash. I thought long about the persons range and his large raise seemed like he didnt have me beat. It seemed like a smaller pair so now i called and he has A9s


In conclusion, i was wondering if you view this situation as a insta shove...

also, how low do you go before you no longer reshove all in..?

thanks everyone

Final Pot: t6300

Reads are really important in this situation, if he's been super tight then I let this go pretty quick but if he's been LAGG then the shove is fine given you are far away from the money with 14.5x BB and a big hand.

The only downside to this situation is that because of his large raise, you don't have a lot of fold equity since opp is getting 2.3 to 1 pot odds to call. I still think I play it the same as you however.

As for what hands I would re-shove here, I think I reshove 99 and fold 77, 88 is right on the border but I probably play it safe and let it go.

I insta-shove this

You are a ways from the bubble here, so you know you're going to have to make at least a couple more decisions. Like Tai said, sometimes this is a fold, but you trusted your read and went with it. Nice job. Truth be told, the next couple times you play in a similar situation, your read will be off or you'll get sucked out on. Try not to let it sway you. Without a doubt, this would be the first hand you looked at again if you folded and ended up bubbling out.
