Haven't been at villains table until the final table, his stats are breakeven over 6k mtts. My hud has him playing 19/16 with 0%3b but only 31 hands of the final table. He's opened 2 of the last 3 pots if that counts for anything.
I've been pretty aggro + restealing alot before I doubled to this stack size, so even though my first instinct is to flat cos I have position, its TT which isnt gonna play great postflop + he could 4b jam worse pairs thinking I'm full of it.

This has been sorta brought up before but, at these stakes, when a player like this (standard breakeven nit) min4bets, its rarely ever a bluff, and I was legit thinking he had AK+ here (yes that narrow, cos I think he'll flat AQ, AJs, KQs, etc).

So what is the best option: flatting pre, 3bet/folding, 3bet/5bet jamming?

I thought we got this clear last time. Putting a player on an AK+ range just cause he 4bet you is silly, especially at a final table, especially 6 handed, especially mid stakes. Just look for the best way to get your 40 BBish stack in plz

I understand that but the difference here is he clicked it back...I'm not sure if my HEM hh shows that properly but he did.

I don't think 3bet folding is awful since there's a lot of value in it. I will however give credit where credit is due at a final table like this and ship it in in this spot, don't hate folding though if you really really believe he's strong

Call pre the first time. Let's not turn TT into a bluff, k?
