You don't want to go as wide as you would in a real HU game (where the SB has the button and can profitably open about 90% of hands). For ring games, just search for hand charts and then alter your ranges according to who is in the hand. e.g. the optimal button range might be around 40% of hands, but against nits you might open 80%. A SB opening range might be nearer 35%, but again you can adjust. When defending the BB, it again depends on who is opening and for what size. When faced by a small open and a wide range when you're IP (vs SB), you should obviously defend more often than you would if you faced a large open by a nit with a tight range on the button.
