Is this a correct shove with pocket tens?
My aim at the moment of shoving was to put the caller out of the pot and take the shorter stacked raiser heads-up.
This was when 60 players remained in a satelite tournament, first 26 receiving a ticket.

Yes, your shove is correct. Your preflop opening size is way too large, 2-2.2x is standard.

Shoving there is definitely correct, small blind rarely has hands that are better than yours.

Thanks for pointing this out. I do read some conflicting information on this topic. Some sources state an opening size of 3x the blind, and even more for early position. Other source state that all the 'pros' nowadays use an opening size of around 2-2.2x the blind.
I've read and understand the arguments for both styles, and I kind of agree on both of them. So that's poses a problem on my side :p
