Opening BU as FT shortstack 3-Handed

Blinds: t35,000/t70,000 (3 Players) SB: 2,732,136
BB: 5,385,764
BN: 1,782,100 (Hero)
Preflop (105,000) Hero is BN with 8 4
Hero folds, SB raises to 140,000, BB folds
Final Pot SB wins 166,250

So what would be an optimal opening range here and what would be your range vs a chipleader that 3-bets 0 or only JJ+ AK like this guy and an ok SB.

That`s a scneario where you should be limping a lot, roughly something like this:

Limp range (mix):

raising range (polar):

I have been trying to avoid constructing a limping range, guess it's time now...
Would you just be opening vs a hyper-passive chipleader, or does limping still make more money? If I decide to open my whole range vs him are you opening hands like Q9o, K7o, Q4s, J6s

If BB never 3bets I would tend to raise all my range here. Slightly tighter than my normal 20bb CO raising ragne. So basically, the intersetcion of Pedros ranges...

Pedro Madeira Yo Pedro,
Why would you advocate to have a wide limping range in this spot on the button?
Is something I hae incorporated too lately in my game am just not sure when to execute it.
Is it because on this particular situation we are 3rd in chips and we have a passive cl in the BB? Would it change if we were 3 handed on a FT and we were on the btn but we were the CL?
Thanks

limping comes in ICM situations therefore also in PKO tournaments. Its a wide and hard subject.
But on FTs you mostly limp as this way you can have a more balanced strategy with wider ranges, being able to see more flops therefore rely less on variance.
