Put your opponent on a range and then defend a slightly wider range than that which he is opening. Suited hands do better than offsuit. For example:
button raises 3x, small blind folds and it's on me in the big blind.
I put em on something like this: 22+, A2s+, A2o+, K2s+, K9o+, Q5s+, Q9o+, J7s+, J9o+, T8s+, T9o, 97s+, 98o, 86s+, 76s, 65s, 54s.
Going with the idea of defending slightly wider than he's opening, I'll continue with this range but I'm not gonna tell you what I 3 bet.
22+, A2s+, A2o+, K2s+, K5o+, Q2s+, Q6o+, J4s+, J7o+, T6s+, T7o+, 96s+, 97o+, 85s+, 87o, 75s+, 76o meh might fold might call I don't think it really matters and the same goes for worse hands like 65s, 54s, 43s.
