*sorry was 18BB, not 15.

18bb eff w BB ante, 9 handed

UTG opens 2.1x, BTN flats, BB (hero) has 33 in BB.

I would sqz jam 22+, AQ+ in this spot.
Against the UTG opener alone I would jam 88+, AQ+.

Are my ranges good?

I would just defend, which is profitable. I don't like pushing with this hand against and UTG open.

I don't understand why your jam range is so heavily weighted towards pps.

Agree with deuce against UTG range need to flat all but your strongest pf hands -- JJ+, AK. I would definitely be jamming all my pairs vs a late position open with same effective stacks.

I would jam much lighter than JJ+/AK.

How do you go from 88+ to 22+ but Aq stays at Aq?

There is a lot of profit an defending the BB multiway with pot odds. Even against a late position raise, I would be tempted to just overcall with 33. From the SB, however, it is more push/fold.
