How is K6s an open utg and a call to 3b at 40bb?? got this chart off Alex Foxen and Chance's site but it just comes off to me as bad to be calling a 3b with K6s after opening utg. Is this correct or am i missing something?

If the allowed 3b sizing is sufficiently small it would make sense.

But if you are playing against a standard low limit casual player whose 3bet range is roughly AQ+ and 99+ then probably half the calls on the chart become easy folds.
