Yea pretty easy fold with the action. Ur in pos with med pr, I like the call in that spot as well. Not as interested in building pot with 10s pre. flop a set ur likely playing for stacks here. But with this all being said, ur 3bet did get u the desired info to know where u were going into the hand. But I like a flat pre from the bttn with 66-JJ sometimes QQ pending read. Raising for value QQ+ AKs

Are you serious? Must be nice if you know exactly what everybody has. When someone minraises from midpos in a $4 tourney it is VERY LIKELY it is AK/AQ…. Sorry for being mean, but these type of responses bug me a little..
Yeah it seems like a fold indeed.
Why do you 3bet your TT here? What would you do if the original raiser would 4bet-shove on you? The only reason I would 3bet here, is if I'm willing to stack off preflop vs the original raiser. I think a flat is better vs most opponents.

No offense, but why so mean? Is it wrong to 3-bet 10s to try and define your opponents hand, and yours for that matter? Is this not a good thought process?

Couple things, if I may.
1. Let's keep the comments constructive, please. You can easily question someone's opinion in a positive tone without coming across as confrontational. This is why our forum has been so much better than other sites – we're not getting sucked into the low brow comments you see in other places. I know the statement was qualified with an apology in there but nothing good can come from things like that.
I guess I would just ask that you put yourself into the shoes of the person you're going to quote and reply before typing out your reply. I'm sure you wouldn't want to log in and see someone cutting down your opinion with sarcasm or whatever. I like that our community doesn't discourage any and all from replying and want to see it stay that way.
Ok, sorry. Needed to get that out. On to the hand in question.
2. I don't like 3 betting here. With deep stacks like this you're not going to call a 4 bet shove and show profit so you're essentially turning your TT into a bluff or at the very least you are now bloating a pot where an overcard or two is very likely to flop and help your opponent if he calls the 3 bet. You'll be folding out weaker pairs and suited connectors that may have opened the action and you're isolating against a range that's either beating you or flopping well aganst you. That's why I would choose to simply flat here and it's why I flat most of my range early in mtt's until I see how people are playing.
As played it's a snap fold. You're rarely, if ever, getting involved in a 3 way all in and having any equity in this spot.
