That's not a good reason to do anything if your goal is to maximize profit.

Why? TT is not going to play all that well against MP's range for calling a 3B OOP; and it plays even worse vs a 4-betting range. The pot being multiway is absolutely fine for TT on the BT. We'll make more $ when we hit a set than in a HU pot, and we can use position to keep from playing a huge pot when we don't.

On what sort of boards will stacking off w/ TT against a reg who has called a 3B and then raised a C-Bet/donked/called down multiple streets be profitable? We're never going to get much $ in as a big favorite against his range w/o a set. Our equity is also going to be meager when he 4-bets, even if he's bluffing more than the average reg.
I'll take TT 3-ways on the BT vs a reg with a fairly wide range and an UTG limper who isn't likely to be very good over HU in a 3-bet pot vs a competent player with a relatively strong range any day.
