For the hand, see https://www.boomplayer.com/27874689_AB15FA419E

No notes on Villain, we just moved table. I did from the few hands I play here that he is quite active, but never saw him going all-in.

Hero on the button raised 2BB, Villain re-raised all in on the SB, should hero fold or call with pocket 10?

With a limper UTG+1 I would raise higher from the SB, at least 3BB, maybe 3.5BB. You almost never want to play a hand from the SB, so your goal is to end the hand right there. If villain shoves regardless, I think it's a good fold. I wouldn't risk my stack in a coin flip (or worse) when you don't have a decent read on villain.

Very small 3bet sizing by you. To be honest it would be better or flat or raise shove. Be aware in freerolls because many weak players open limp with monster hands! As the hand played is opponent depended if you want to call or no. With out any stats I would probably have folded!

I would only shove here if I had 10 BB or less

You need to make a bigger raise preflop in the SB. Probably a fold since you have no read on villain.

I don't fault you for folding. You are going to be getting into shove mode soon though. You only have ~26BB and losing chips now makes it harder to get back later. I also wouldn't fault you calling the all in. Honestly you're bet should have been larger. Maybe 1200-1500. You don't need any calls. With this hand you want to pickup builds and antes. I don't mind a call here either if the villain comes along. At least see a flop and set mine it. His shove smells like a desperate move. "Protecting" BB, AK or AQ. He shoves so no one calls. He is just after the chips. I would call. All day and twice on Sunday.
