I play a couple times a week in a pretty juicy 2/5 game where everyone likes to gamble, pots are almost always multiway, and once people put money in preflop, they hate to fold. People limp a wide range, and if you try to isolate a couple of limpers, plan on making it $50 to get it 2 or 3 ways and even then, one caller can get a cascade behind, often bloating pots preflop. 3-bets are 90% KK+, some QQ/AK, and a little JJ/TT. A lot of players will limp-call with AK or fold to any significant action preflop. Others, will happily call $100+ preflop with any two suited and/or connected cards (because, you know, if I hit...) There are a few people who either hate money, or just DGAF about it and will put in massive amounts of money pre with almost any two. I've had aces cracked by 2-7. There was a $100 straddle involved, and we were all-in preflop for ~$500. People generally respond to aggression passively and mostly adopt a "see-where-I'm-at" attitude. If they have a pair they generally call down. If you can beat top pair, best advice is to pile the money in. Most stacks average between $100 and ~$400, although someone on a heater can run up a $1000+ stack, and there is usually one or two people with that amount on the table.

I'm not bragging, I'm just describing the game.

So with that being said... what is a good 3-bet range in this game? What about sizing?

You're not getting any responses because it's still way too situational. It depends on the opener, his position if he's positionally aware and your position and a few other less significant variables.

Probably 3-betting linearly in all situations as we can expect either the opener to be sticky or for someone to cold-call our 3-bet, but how wide that range is depends on positions and villains involved. I would size larger than normal since we won't likely have any hands in our range which benefit from a smaller sizing and the table is sticky enough to go for extra value.
