Hey Guys,

I have a question regarding constructing 3B/Calling Ranges.

I've been watching Vincent's GTO and range construction videos as it applies to HU play, and trying to do the same for 6Max/FR.

I remember reading in Harrington's online book that he preferred to value 3B with hands that comprised the top 25% of hands versus a given range with the hands having at least 55% equity vs the given range, call OOP with hands that had 48-55% equity, call IP with hands that had 45-55% equity, and light 3B hands worse at a 2:1 ratio value:light. That may or may not be solid advice, but it is a starting point for discussion.

Vincent's 3B range suggestion of 20% vs a 100% SB min-raise in HU play is another starting point, and he advocated having a 1.1-1.5:1 bluff to value ratio. He didn't really discuss what his ideal equity with ranges should be, but his 20% range has 55% equity vs the 100% open.

What do you guys think?

Here's an example of what I've been trying to construct. I've been playing a lot of 4-handed deep-stacked 50NL versus very LAG opponents. In the following hand, I'm in the SB and I estimate the CO to be opening a 35% range:

22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q7s+, J7s+ ,T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 65s, 54s, A5o+ ,K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o

I've comprised the following 3B range: JJ+, 33-22, AQs+, A4s-A2s, KQs ,QTs-Q9s, J9s+, T8s+, 97s+, 86s+, 76s, 65s, AKo

This comes to slightly more than 25% of the 466 combos in Villain's range and has 53.14% equity versus that range. Does this seem like a good range? Am I covering enough boards? How should my range change at say 100bb (the game is typically 100-200bb deep)? Am I thinking about this correctly?

All input would be fantastic. Thank you.
