I think 3bet is better (and you have position over MP+1), because if you only flat 60, you bring MP and maybe other players to see the flop, and holding AQ, it's not what you want

Hello, I agree with BullXT that 3bet is better than flat call pre flop. Pre flop I play bigger reraise at the beginning of the tournament on the very deep stacks. Pre flop I raise 4x60 and I add 1-3 big blinds for one limper, so I raise about 260-300. When I raise more pre flop sometimes limper fold medium hand. As played - when opponent bets on the flop for at least 50% of the pot and I don't have reads on him, I fold second pair, because usually opponent has top pair. So you played good check on the turn and on the river, but when limper check on the flop I continue aggression and I play cbet for at least 50%.

sorry guys, I made a small mistake in the end of my analysis. As I said, you play good check on the turn and on the river, but if the first raiser (not limper) check on the flop, I continue aggression and I play cbet for at least 50% of the pot.
