Can anyone get away from this?
There are 17 left in a regualr MTT, the top 10 get paid. This guy hadn't raised pre-flop since I've joined this table, and he's got me covered, which is why I was reluctant to re-raise with my 10s. I thought he must be beating me. I elected to call and peel off a flop, and was ready to fold to any bet. When he checked I was very suspicious and not sure what to put him on. I don't think he would min raise pre-flop with just a good ace, I thought it must have been a high pair. Maybe he's got KK and puts me on an A and is reluctant to bet? Anway the turn looks a beautiful card for me. When he raises me, I think he's just acting on my weakness, so I'm not too worried at this point, but when he re-re-re-raises me alram bells start going off in my head that he must have Qs full. Even, so I couldn't get away, and busted out 7 off the money. Is this a cooler, or does anyone feel they could have got away?

I would have gone 3/4 of the pot with my bet then the re-raise would let me know he was pretty commited. Looking at your read of a high pocket pair, the re-raise on your weak bet sort of let you knew that you were right, if you had a read for high pocket pair, an ace is on the board that your opponent is not scared of... then i think you could go with the decision here that his high pockets have improved. As the only cards that help the high pokects improve are the aces for quads or the queen for queens full then yes i beleive you could of got away from this, But only because you seem sure it's a pocket and not a raise in position with a KJ type hand that could of improved but you would be crushing
I too don't mind your check on the flop. I think once the ten comes down on the turn though, the only way your getting away from this is when he 3 bets you on the turn all in. You've got to think that this type of player ( someone who hasn't played a hand forever) could have you beat.
The only decision then is can you fold and still make the money? By the look of it you would have had 5100 chips left at that point if you folded with blinds at 150/300. 17 bb's is enough but I certainly don't blame you for calling, I probably would of done the same with your hand, especially with about 10 seconds to act.
To be honest though I was in a similar spot last week when I was close to the money and the big stack raised utg. He was a tight player and i had pocket nines. I was tempted to shove but decided to fold. I didn't want to call as it was a fifth of my stack and i knew i wasn't going any further unless i flopped a set. Maybe just chucking your tens pre was the only way you were getting away from it when it turned out like this.

im not good enough to get away there, he could have trips or the straight... to me its a cooler.
I assume you were set mining with the TT by flatting OOP and checking the flop so you hit your house on the turn and i really think its just a cooler tbh.
