It would be more accurate to compare UTG RFI in 3-blind to UTG+1 (LJ-1) RFI in 2-blind because these are identical positions on the table!
Later Sweeney compares 2-blind BTN with 3-blind BTN RFI and gives frequencies of 33% and 31%. So the BTN is tighter in the 3-blind config, which is what I expected. Although, I am surprised the discrepancy is not more pronounced. Generally, I am surprised that the BTN RFI in 2-blind is so low at 33%. I have seen some custom Monker solves for 3x BTN RFI that has frequency of around 42%.
I have to admit my first comment in which I said it is undeniable that RFI is tighter for 3-blind assumes that the stack sizes are 100bb in both cases. If you assume the stack sizes are only 50bb for the 3-blind configuration then I am not sure how that would affect the ranges honestly.
