However one thing to note is that if you have a much tighter 3betting range vs MP opens than you likely do then you will find it much easier to balance postflop since you will have less total air in your range.

+1. Also this situation is quite a lot different to Amir's hand because by the river in his hand he has literally TWO bluffing hands and (and our villain will blocking one of those hands some% of the time) This is because his perceived range for 3betting from the BB at such an early ante-less stage in the tournament is going to be given credit for being extremely strong. Just from reading you're threads Im going to assume that you're percieved range preflop has a pretty decent chunk of air in it, none of which we lose from our range OTF. Hence why you're likely getting hero'd here.

Think ur value range in this spot is to thin, unless ur barrelling like this some of the time with QQ KK AA your polarized to TEN hands and what TEN hands are u 3betting out the SB? That being said shoving the river seems strong I like the sizing on every street. So im guessing he had jacks right?

Thing is... you said "unless you're barrelling like this some of the time with QQ KK AA..." - which implies to me that you would not often be betting the turn/river with QQ+ here. But anyway... that's enough with the pedantry.

I advocate balance much more than most posters here (and I've had a few debates on this forum about this issue) but tbh I think this is the sort of spot where it is completely fine to be pretty unbalanced, certainly at 200NL anyway.
