2/5/10/blind raise 70 9max 1.1k€ Stack
I jam from Hj with TT and the blind raiser wakes up with JJ and calls for 800€.
This leads me to the question, can you view a blind raise as the current big blind?
To me it was just 15bb eff so i just went all in, or is there merit to do anything else?
It's not completely the same. Villain makes it 60 more if you compare it with the €10 straddle. So you could make it €130 in total. Off course min raising isn't a really good move with in mind you give villain good odds to call. I don't know the stack dynamic, but normally I would make it €200 in total with a total stack of €800 effective.

In a tournament scenario, viewing a blind raise as the current big blind can be a valid approach, especially when facing a significant portion of your stack. Your decision to jam with TT against a blind raiser holding JJ is reasonable, given the effective stack size of 15 big blinds. Pushing all in can be a straightforward and aggressive play, leveraging the blinds and antes. While alternative strategies like a smaller raise or a flat call are possible, going all in maximizes fold equity and simplifies post-flop decisions, making it a viable move in this specific situation.
