What to do here?

Scalps game last Friday. Near the end of level 2, 50/100.
I have just rebought when my overcards and flush draw failed to improve. Until that hand I had not played many hands. I have exactly 3k. I am UTG+2 here. I have posted this hand in my blog too but want to get opinions on it here.

Action folded to me, so I open to 400 with TT. Player to my left goes all in for 1575. He has not played many hands, has not shown any I believe and I have never seen him before. He is new to the Fitz but not the game (and has a rebuy left). Folded to BB who calls after a think for about 10 seconds (he barely covers me, and he has a rebuy left). BB is a player I have played with several times. Nice fella but I don't not believe him to be a good player. He is not terrible, just not good.

Initially I do not like this spot with my hand. I am left with 3 options.

1. Fold my 400. I will have 2600 left, blinds about to go up to 75/150.
2. Flat calls and see a flop, betting any check into my by BB, evaluating any bet. I will have 1425 left on the flop.
3. All in to get a side pot of 2850 going if I get a caller or isolate raiser with 2/1 pot odds if BB folds (unlikely I think).

I think that is all the relevant information. What do you do here?

That is exactly what I did. Imagine my surprise when the original all-in turned over 99 and the BB 77!!!!

Imagine my lack of surprise when the case 7 (someone else had confessed to having one) came on the river to send me to the cash games.

Ah well. It is not the outcome that is important though (now), just wanted to make sure that in general this is the rigt play. I felt it was so good to get validation.

I think with the amount in the pot and your rebuy gone that it was definitely the right move!
