it reflects the lack of thought

if you 3b TT you're making them fold hands like 88, 99, A9
so what are you going up against when you 3b?

since you're IP vs. the original raiser I'd guess TT+, AQ+,AJs+
why would you want to play against that range when you can play against his entire opening range?

so maybe your 3b is EV+, but calling may be even more EV+ since you're IP and have a good hand but a hand you're not willing to stick in PF
the rule of thumb is 3b hands for value that you want to go all in with preflop, call with weaker hands and 3b as a bluff with hands you don't want to call with
