3 betting TT is not standard by any means in my opinion.

Yes it is; it's textbook in, among other places, Small Stakes Hold 'em.

The only place that is questionable is the turn; barring metagame / image considerations, this was on the fold side of things.

That is where it's close decision; it's not close pre-flop.

Barron, telling me that something is in smallstakes isnt going to convince me that 3betting TT is standard. Like you, I have read all the books multiple times so it isnt necessary for you to quote any paragraph for me. When I have TT and its been raised in front of me there are times I will fold it, times I will call it, and times I will reraise with it depending on what I want to accomplish and who I am up against. TT is a highly situational hand. I know in general that all hands are situational. But TT is more situational than most hands in my opinion. I believe when Ed Miller wrote smallstakes and gave his preflop guidelines, he wasnt intending for anyone to strictly adhere to them. They are still just a guide, and there are many times it will be correct to deviate from that guide, especially with a hand like TT
