Full Tilt, 1,000/2,000 blinds, 250 ante No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players

BTN: 58,308 (29.2 bb)
Hero (SB): 91,137 (45.6 bb)
BB: 81,555 (40.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with two cards
BTN raises to 4,100, Hero raises to 10,250, BB folds, BTN raises to 58,058 and is all-in, Hero calls 47,808

Hey team! This was 3 handed in a smallish tilt $25 last night. Heroes image is pretty insane in terms of 3/4betting, but I haven't spazzed out post or put it in insanely light pre or anything like that. I had been 3betting villian in question a bunch and he had mostly folded, but I was guessing he was just gonna pile a ton over my subsequent 3bets. With all of this in mind, what is the bottom of our 3b/c range here? Very interested in what the lowest pair we 3b/c with here is in particular

Such a gameflow spot at this point. The correct answer depends on what's gone to showdown, the exact frequency of your x! betting and what's happened in the past few orbits. can't really say that in a vacuum i'd have a range of xyz, because it's not a vacuum.

might be calling off KQ or folding AQ. might be calling 77 or folding 99. idk.

so annoying that you wanna say x bet like x! then still say bet anyway

If you 3b like 25-40% (1 out of 3)and the sample size is reasonable to assume he adapts there is no way to 3b/f AJo/ATs/66

Intuitively seems about right to me. I'd 3 to 5 worse pairs but fold to jam I think. Just incase villain decides to throw in a light small 4b after a bit

Close but you're doing so well vs his wheel aces that I really don't think it's awful. Hard to make a pair in poker. Vs a better playing villain, I'd include 55 and worse and likely KQ/A9s.
