Amazingly, the mediafire link to the Pushbot 4.2 Excel spreadsheet from 2010 is still working.

Just from experimenting with that, you might be amazed at how wide you can resteal.
Newer tools from the training sites will have closer to optimal ranges. You can also use Holdem Resources Calculator or ICMizer to crunch the numbers. (You can use the latter in chipEV mode if you think the ICM factors are insignificant, although as sixfour mentioned, ICM is
always a factor on a final table).
To some extent, hands like A3o are a bit better than suited connectors, because of the ace blocker. (You're less likely to get called, and you still have equity vs hands like TT). I don't play much these days, but I'm generally quite happy to 3-bet jam A5s or A4s when faced by a raise, but I tend to make the nit fold with hands like A6o or JTs, although the charts/sheets show they are usually +EV resteals. I don't resteal as often as the charts say because most of my opponents are braindead fools that happily call off 25bb with K6s or A7o. You don't want to jam light against stations, as you'll make more money by shoving "for value" with a bigger edge. You can really beat up the LAGs that minraise-fold the BTN at a high frequency though. To some extent, you can 'get away with' jamming ATC on the raise-folders.
