Was I being a station?

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $43.61
SB: $10.61
BB: $4.64
UTG: $10.47
MP: $9.53
CO: $10.05 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is CO with T T
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.30, BN folds, SB raises to $1.40, BB folds, MP folds, Hero calls $1.10
I didn't want to 3 bet MP but seemed a standard call to SB 3 bet
Flop ($3.20) Q 7 3
SB bets $1.10, Hero calls $1.10
Turn ($5.40) Q 7 3 3
SB bets $2.00, Hero calls $2.00
River ($9.40) Q 7 3 3 2
SB bets $6.11 and is all in, Hero calls $5.55 and is all in

This hand has bothered me for a few days. I think pre and flop are pretty standard...happy to hear otherwise? I don't like 3 betting TT against an early position raise, but maybe I should sometimes?

I couldn't fold the flop to the sizing and texture I don't reckon and the turn pricing was good too and I was a little suspicious maybe of the small sizing. I sort of knew the shove was coming on the river and I felt like it was a good board for villain to shove as it was dry and I was pretty hard pressed to have a 3 (could have some A3s) and he has lots some AQ in his range and of course QQ+ too.

I don't how best to analyse these spots. We had no history together, so my rudimentary look was to assume he 3 bets around 5% of hands and see how my hand does against that range. In that context I'm priced in each time I believe - although this is pretty unscientific as I have no idea if he does 3 bet at that level and even then what his range would be made of.

Part of my call down was that I was thinking if I was in vilain's shoes and I'd missed on that board, I'd reckon I could get someone off a mid pair/underpair with 3 barrels whilst knowing I probably had some cleans outs particularly with a hand like AK. Also, if I was villian and had AQ, KK or AA, I'd have sized up a bit and with AQ I'd be a tempted to check on the river (maybe the wrong play?).

Interested in peoples thoughts on the hand but also how to make my analysis more useful.
