When is 3 betting pocket 10s reasonable? Here are a couple hands:

Hand#1: Should I have just called OOP? Since he was betting from late position I didn't really want to play 10s oop/just set mine him
Merge - $0.04 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: $1.04 (VPIP: 20.55, PFR: 9.72, 3Bet Preflop: 5.56, Hands: 73)

I rarely 3-bet TT but that's just me.

Hand 1 is close but it can't be to wrong folding but i expect to see AK here some of the time.

Hand 2 seems fine.

think TT should be a part of a strategy that 3Bs a range for value, usually that will be vs CO BTN SB for me, just cos you got jammed on once or overs flopped shouldn't change your reasoning for doing it, which is to create a larger pot with initiative vs a weaker player / range. times i prefer flat TT is when i am against a strong player deep oop, or i am against a narrow range (EP/MP)

I'm usually 3betting in hand 1. You have to fold to the shove but that doesn't mean that 3betting is wrong.

Hand 2, SB should have a fairly tight raising range here so I prefer a flat.
