Hey guys. I'm wondering what I should have done against a turn shove in this situation.

Hero (CO): 96 BB
Villain (SB) 125BB

Pre Flop: (Pot 1.5 BB) Hero has A

Folds to Hero. Hero raises to 3BB
Villain is the only caller.

Flop: (Pot 7 BB, 2 players) 2

Villain checks, Hero bets 2/3 pot, Villain calls

Turn: (Pot 16 BB) 10

Villain checks, Hero bets 2/3 pot, Villain shoves for 107 BB on top

Should I call or fold here?

I really appreciate the advice!

when they shove for like 8x pot its almost always because they think they have a nutted hand (2pair+). V is usually a passive fish here. On rare occasion this will be a draw or like K8o from a whale. Rest of hand is good, I would usually go a little bigger on flop and turn, 75% or a bit more, these fish and many regs won't mind a few more bb's.

You'r rarely good here. You block fds and villain will mostly have sets and K10. I don't think villain does this enough with TPTK [after you'v repped strong yourself] to justify the call. Saying that daft bluffs/semi bluffs are entirely possible at this level and you will pick one off occasionally with a call in this spot. I sigh fold.
