Hey I'm doing some solver work and I'd just like a second opinion,

In a scenario where UTG opens and Button 3bets than UTG calls I would assume an average UTG defending range here to be:

AQs-A2s
KQs-K9s
QJs-QTs
JJ-22
JTs
T9s
98s
87s
76s
65s
KQo-KJo
Ako-AJo

If the UTG is looser or tighter how would you guys adjust these ranges? and How much do you guys think I should adjust those ranges for?

KJo is a bad open UTG
it's a really bad call when raised.

the range seems a bit loose for the games i play in.

Idk how much time I'd spend "doing solver work" without using some ranges from Monker as a starting point. Sounds like you bought a solver without understanding how it works.

Many of the hands on the defending range list are not profitable opens to begin with. Ideally you’d want to defend mainly suited broadways and fold the suited Ax or use them with mixed frequency for 4bets. And this is assuming villains are 3betting optimally (5-7%). In a live game you can’t really go wrong with just folding all but TT+ and AJs+. In fact, I recommend you do that.
