Calling and playing a vulnerable hand oop just seems awkward to me. if we had position, I'd be more inclined to flat. Although 10,10 plays well vs his CO opening range range, oop it plays awkwardly on a lot of boards especially if villain is aggro and this somewhat negates how far ahead of his CO opening range we actually are. I'd 3 bet for value, but also be happy to see him fold. I mean it's quite conceivable that he continues to a 3 bet with worse here imo. And since we're oop, having the initiative just puts us in such a better spot.

As an example of what I mean, say he calls the 3 bet with KQs and the flop comes A 9 5r, here we can just pick it up with a c bet, If we'd flatted however we'd likely be letting him blow us of the hand when we take our a c/f flop line or c/c, c/f line. There tons of other possible situations like this involving hands he'd continue to a 3 bet with.

If villain had opened in earlier position and had tighter stats , I'd be more inclined to flat preflop.
