Looks like a fairly clear fold to me.

Villian is definitely afraid to see a flop. Often it's going to be JJ, QQ, AK. Occasionally AQs down to A10s. Occasionally 22-99. It might even be KK not wanting to see an A flop. I think the key factor in the decision is not having any reads on villian. Wait a couple of rounds and see if he's trying this too often. If so, snap him off.
In this spot, fold the 10s. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Just a hypothetical Q - what if OP had JJ? Still a fold?

easy fold. With QQ I insta-call. With JJ, I find a fold.

Without a solid read, my calling range here is probably QQ+. My end game is more of shove game than a call game.

If you are a bad player you should call and gamble. But since I guess you are good player you should fold and outplay/outpush your opponents.
