BTN calling-range vs SB/BB 3-bets + question on flatting frequencies
Hey guys,
I wonder how we should adjust our calling ranges on the button versus resteals from the blinds. Generally speaking, the population seems to have a tendency of 3-betting a rather depolarized range in the SB while being very polarized in the BB - 3-betting the top x% and 3-betting some hands not good enough to call.
Should we be more speculative versus the big-blind, calling more pp's to setmine, more suited connectors etc. to "hit big" versus his nutted hands?
Bonus question:
Theoretically, if we assume that the BB can help us in defending versus SB 3-bets by 4-betting y% of his range, shouldn't this mean that we should actually be defending a wider range in the BB vs his 3-bets since we are the only player left to defend? This is somewhat contradicting to actual gameplay for me, since generally SB has a wider range than the BB does, thereby i would intuitively tihnk we should be defending wider vs. the SB?
