I am playing on ignition and so far I have been playing 5nl fast fold version. This question is specifically regarding restealing for the sake of fold equity vs an end position steal raise (CO, BTN).

I have 20,000 hands this month at 14bb/100.

My overall 3bet % is 8.9.
3bet % from BTN is 13.
3bet % from SB is 14.

Is this high/low/medium?

I ask this because I find myself 3betting a LOT for re-stealing and I feel this is making me a lot of money/EV but it could just be the small sample so let me explain my range.

-> When In the Small Blind

1 - I almost never call from the small blind.
2 - I will 3 bet to 12bb a normal 3bb open from the C.O/BTN with any reasonable hand. This means all suited aces, most off suit aces and most connected cards 89+. My range of 3 betting is a little wider vs a btn raise compared to CO raise naturally.
3 - I look at the person who is raising. On ignition the tables are anonymous so the only info you can get from the person is the stack size. And if the person has a near 100bb or + stack I will put in this 3 bet and hope hes an aware player. Vs people with small/weird stacks I will often not 3 bet for resteal because in my experience they often call the 3 bet since they dont have any concept of stealing etc where as the regs insta fold.

This strategy has been working for me really well but is this too much?

I have a similar approach from the BTN.

1 - VS CO open if I am on the btn and have any reasonable hand I put in a 3 bet. Usually the CO is stealing, the 3 bet scares the blinds off except when they have an actual hand. This means anybody in the SB who had any thoughts of stealing now insta folds seeing the 3bet from me, and the CO has to decide. If the CO calls he has to play the entire hand out of position and so they often end up folding and even if they do call, I know how to play the hand post flop in position.

Am I being way to aggressive? Because quite literally I feel this is how I am making a lot of money. If I stop doing this I think my win rate will take a massive hit since all these small pots really add up.

I guess what Im trying to ask is what should be my calling range?

Even though Im winning by 3 betting Im afraid if my 3 betting all the hands am I missing some value by playing some hands by calling?

I.e for example, CO open vs my QTs/QTo on btn is an instant 3 bet for me.

KQs/KQo in the BB vs any late position open is an instant 3 bet. Should I be calling these hands?

QJs/QJo/KJ vs CO/BTN open I also 3 bet from sb

I woul suggest posting this thread on the stats check-up forum, I think you will get a reply faster there.

Sounds like you're doing fine.

I generally have no calling range from the sb vs regs in CO/BU, 3bet or fold.

Vs fish you can call instead but you open yourself up to a squeeze from the bb.
