Is it bad to call an all-in with 77 at 10/20 ?

Hi all,I just started playing some HU sngs this week and I'm still on my 30th game. Anyway I just played one now and he had already 3-bet me twice in the 1st 19 hands.In the 20th hand I had 77 on the button and raised to 60. He 3-bets me all in. I call.He seemed like a weak tight player so at first this doesn't seem like a good call but I would like other's opinion on this and I'd like to know if its ever worth risking the whole tournament at the start calling all ins with pairs < TT.cheersAndrew

A general cut off seems to be

A general cut off seems to be 88 or 99. I think 77 is to low to be calling all in with and 3-betting 2 out of 19 hands isnt all that much, so think i would only do it with 99+ here. Im assuming we have pretty deep stacks here?

AQ+, TT+ would be my calling range based on your information.

I call this every time and

I call this every time and get shown 22-88. People who are "weak-tight" and most bad players for that matter have no idea how to play a low pp post so they just jam it in pre and hope. Its a gamble but do you really think that he is going to do this with 99/10+, some do but most 3b for value and dont just jam it in. So your basically flipping or have him dominated, which sounds +EV to me. Also it would help to know if the other 2 times he 3bet if he just jammed like now or made a std 3b.
