Depending of my cards i will flat call a 2BB raise however wit a raise of 3BB and over i rarely do flat call i will fold, reraise or shoved again depending of my cards and other players before me. If a small stack shoved and he is called by a bigger stack then i will shoved if the small stack beat me and i beat the big stack i am ok.

I always raise 3x unless im short stacked then ill min raise or push. Ill call 3x raises or reraise depends on situation amd cards tho every hand i play a little different depending on mood. I tend to be very aggressive at times and dont mind losing buyin since i mainly play sngs another one is just a click away

Post is a bit to vague to give a good answer. I guess you talk about tourney play and not cash games. And what do you mean with a 2BB raise. A raise to 2BB (a minraise) or a raise of 2 additional BBs?

There is a theory that says it is considered bad play to flat call a raise or re raise. The basis is, consider why you raised or re raised, or maybe even called in the first instance, or maybe, the raise is before you have even played. What do you have and what is your intention? By simply calling, you are giving the opponent a chance to at least see the next cards! Do you really want to do that? Sometimes you may, but really you should be thinking about why it is you are flat calling and what may follow! Theres loads more to the concept, but give it some thought beyond your actual play at that moment in time!
