Strategy question - TT facing a 3-bet

I would just like to ask the community what your strategy is when you face a 3b with TT preflop in different spots. If I open in EP and get 3-bet by anyone, I am typically calling the 3b with 100bb stacks. In later positions, I am not sure what my default should be. I played a hand a few days ago where I was in the SB with TT and it folded around. I opened, BB (who was an unknown) 3-bet, I 4-bet, he shoved and I called it off. He had AKo. While I was ahead, if I assume that villain is never 5-bet jamming bluffs, which might be a reasonable estimation for 10NL villains, then it was probably a mistake as I am behind his 5-bet value range. Would this be a routine 4b/call for you guys or are you only looking to play for stacks preflop in that spot with some read or history? If I am on the BTN vs a regular in SB/BB 3-betting I usually 4bet. In COvBTN I usually look at their 3-betting stats and decide if I'm calling or 4-betting, but it's usually a close decision.

According your situation - if you 4b large and he shoves and you expect him to do that with only qq+ and ak imo its still a call. If you add like jj and aq to his range it becomes even more profitable to call the shove. Sure, you are never ahead, but at a standard line (3bb open, 10bb 3b, 30bb 4bet, 90bb shove) - you pay 70 bb to win 133 bb - you only have to win it a little more than 1 out of 3 times - and you do that. AND: At NL10 you still have a good chance villain is going completely crazy...
