Let's work with your figures but assume villain has a reasonable 3-bet frequency.
(% villain folds)*(EV of villain folding in bb) + (% villain 3-bets)*(EV of villain 3-betting in bb) + (% villain calls)*(EV of villain calling in bb) >= 0
(0.50)*(1.5) + (0.20)*(-1.5) + (0.30)*(x) >= 0
x >= -1.5. So basically, 72o can simply surrender the pot postflop every time and be a neutral EV open. But 72o has equity when called, so it'll make more than that against a 50% defender.

Depends on stack sizes. Adding SCs is good at deeper stacks, but unnecessary at ~100bb.

This is an easily solvable spot, and it should make good homework for you. Pick a ratio such that hands like 87s can't ship profitably.
