I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think you get called lighter when you don't differentiate the way you play the top most part of your range here (KK+) From the bottom of it. We don't give him a chance to hero fold some things that may have called a jam anyway.
What range/hands do you think he folds to a 3 bet but calls a jam with, and do you think that range is larger than the one he folds to a jam, but 4 bet jams over our 3 bet?
I think that our button 3 bet will look weak anyway so i don't think villain is hero folding 88-1010. He isnt going to call a jam with kq/qj or 22-66 so we are only giving him a chance to spew. I think its less likely hes opening the smaller pps' but either way 3 betting should allow him to get in a wider range.
