I'm aware of the equities as I've put in the time with equilab vs various ranges. However, as you note, we are forced to fold sometimes which means we need more than 29% equity to play full stacked poker. since there is no clear way to quantify the difference between (raw equity) and (realized equity), then we should focus on understanding the latter better.

Me obviously , I don’t take the raw % equity pf since I already said,
because some hands play terribad postflop OOP and are almost impossible to realize your full equity ( because you aren’t all-in) , i rather give myself a certain Marge of security and play a bit tighter than the raw equity To compensate the lack of realization.
i agree with this entirely.

So let’s say HJ oraise with x% range and I have 40% equity , I will play a bit tighter than 40% because I am OOP but seem I am wrong and I just don’t understand .
let me rephrase this the way I think about it: hj raise with 25% range(i think its tag range) and i defend slightly wider than this range around 30-40% depending on how much equity this particular opponent will allow me to realize. the structure is essentially the same as the opening range(same general shape in equilab) but my kickers go a notch or two lower than the opening range.

If it is right you can play a bit looser IP when you 3bet because of the money in the pot and you have position , it should make sense to play a bit tighter with your bottom range OOP .
while this is intuitive, its not a measure of profitability.

But seem I am wrong when I read a lot of reply .
its not that youre wrong, its that your approach to using equity is incomplete. you must keep learning about equity realization to better understand where the money is coming from in a hand of poker. here's a thread that really helped me to grasp the deeper meaning of the profitability of individual hands:
