Thoughts
Preflop:
As I don't have any information on villain yet, I am assigning him with my standard 3bet range for BB vs BTN taken from w34z3l's 6max walkthrough. As this is a squeeze situation I would think, that he might even 3bet a bit wider then that.

( RED is the 3bet range )
I think at least calling is a must here.
Should I 4bet in this situation?
Flop:
Villain still has a total of 128 combos thereof:
6 of 2par+ (53s/64s)
24 of overpairs (JJ+)
8 of OESD or similiar (85s/75s)
9 of pair+gutshot (65s-43s)
12 of gutshot (K3s/Q5s/Q3s)
27 of top-/middle-/bottom-pair (K4s/K2s/Q6s/Q4s/Q2s/J6s/96s/98s/76s)
The rest are overcards and many backdoor-straight-draws
As my range
Spoiler
( also from w34z3l )
misses the flop almost completely, it doesn't seem to matter a lot from his perspective if he has top-, bottom- or middle pair (assuming he assigns me with a range like that). He has the clear range advantage (61.59% equity) 30/128 strong value hands and a lot of good bluffing hands with many draws and backdoor draws. I think, that he could also bet some of his 27 top-/middle-/bottom-pair hands, as they are still quite likely to be the best hand OTF.
This is the moment, where I am getting tired of a more detailed analysis. I just think that, given his clear range advantage, he has a lot of incentive to bet the flop quite wide and that my TT might be at a clear advantage compared to his betting range. His small 1/2-sized bet might also suggest a drawing hand or bluff.
I am very uncertain about my raise OTF. One could probably make a point for denying equity, as a lot of his equity (overcards better then T, straight-draws) seems to come from future streets. The main problem about my raise is probably that it got me pot commited (SPR ~ 1), which pretty much forced me to call his shove. Could this be a situation, where I want to go all-in?
Questions:
1. Which preflop-range would you give villain? I used my standard 3bet against BTN range for him. But this situation is a little bit different to a simple BTN RFI. How would a squeeze range typically differ from a normal 3bet range?
2. Should/Could I 4bet preflop?
3. What do you make of villains small 1/2-sized bet OTF?
4. How do you feel about my raise OTF? Is my hand vulnerable/strong enough? Should I probably choose a different sizing?
5. Could I have folded to his all-in?
