22$ buy in tournament, softish field, we are in the mid-stages of the tournament. I have an average stack of 48bb, while villain has me covered with 111bb and is one of the chip leaders. Villain is very tight and opens for 3bb UTG +2 while I wake up with 1010 in MP.

My standard in this spot is to 3 bet small, like 1.8x to take the initiative away, to know where I'm at and put more chips in position with a premium hand like 1010. But our opponent is pretty tight and I don't think that he raises from EP with worst than 88+, AQ+. So 1010 is not great versus that range. I still decide to 3 bet-fold ; so I 3 bet 1.85x after his 3x open, and he 4 bets jam. I think about calling, because his overbet jam smells like AK, but I am behind his range and decided to fold.

So my question is : what do you think are the merrits of flatting with 1010 in position here? What are the downsides? What would you do? Would you 3 bet fold like I did, call the shove, flat the original raise or simply fold preflop? Your input is much appreciated, for this hand confuses me, thx.
