I like a three bet for several reasons:

1) Fold equity - if villain is raising light, he very well might fold. Even if SB stays in the hand, you have position.

2) Low implied odds - if you do hit a set and manage to stack your opponent, it isn't that big of a payoff with their relatively small stacks.

3) Better isolation. Better to play TT against one opponent than 2.

4) Adds more money to pot. TT is very likely to be the strongest hand, henceforth, you want to make more with it.


Don't feel that you are committed if the button shoves. You have a stack of fifty, and you are investing less than $10 on a three bet. Villain isn't likely to shove unless he has you beat, in which case you should fold anyway.
