Here's the hand.
9 player 6$ sng at *******. BB = 100. 6 players remain.
UTG - 1000
UTG+1 - 1200
CO (Villian) - 8500
BUT - 2000
SB - 800
BB (Hero) - 4500 w/ TT
2 folds, Villian Raises 400, 2 folds, Hero ?
Reads: Villian's been a little loose pre-flop limping a bit too much, but his raises were at the business end of things. As his stack grew he's been kicking the living hell out of the table so this could well be a steal. Estimated hand range is (77+, A9+, KJ+), but could well be as loose as A2s+, K9s+.
Here's the twist (no spam honest).
The site in question is running a september "9-seated SNG" promo whereby, providing the buy-ins are 5$ or above, the following bonus scheme applies.
3 successive wins - $25
4 successive wins - $250
5 successive wins - $2500
5 successive 1st or 2nds - $100
And I have 3 successive wins under my belt coming into this game so I am playing to win, not come second. I fancy my hand to be ahead and I want to maximise my chip EV here. What are my options do you think?

call to see the flop, your not beat yet and you have enough to cover the villians 400. TT is a decent PP and if you can catch the set on the flop your in good shape. In my opinion call.

I see the point with the raise... the only problem is that he might turn the tables on you and push all in. What do you do then? If you fold to his push then you may as well fold now. I would probably just smooth call and see the flop. His next bet will probably be huge... no matter what the flop is.
