I play on Ignition Zone where its all Anonymous and the players in the pool are mostly weak tight. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start exploitatively 3 betting a wide linear range of around 15%. My reasons are simple:

Players can't adjust correctly since they don't know I am doing it
Players in this pool don't defend 3 bets correctly to begin with
I should be able to take down flops with c-bets fairly frequently
Players tend to play more fit/fold in 3bet pots

This is the range I had in mind: {TT+, A9s+, A5s-A2s, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QJo}

I know I will need to be careful with the reverse implied odd broadway hands, but is there any reason not to start doing this?

I would not under any circumstances 3bet KTo. Awful playability, very little potential to make a strong hand, and as you've already mentioned, significant reverse implied odds.

Your 3betting range should almost certainly vary by position. I'd say this should probably be as loose as you want to go. I'd also add 99-88 and drop the worst unsuited broadway.

I agree with above and yes, 3betting a lot should print in those conditions, as long as you can handle the higher variance and are able to give up on the pot when you're supposed to.

Best way to find out is try it yourself, seems fine in theory given your reasoning but just make sure you aren't completely misjudging the pool.

Are you picking hands like QJo and KTo because of blockers?
