Having trouble defining profitable lines while studying, what am I doing wrong?

Whenever I'm trying to write out decision trees to find profitable lines I tend to get caught up with lines that based on my math seem profitable but in reality seem like they can't be. For example: I consider my BTN opening range at 3x getting flatted by the big blind. So I compare my range to BBs range and consider whether or not a cbet would be profitable on different board textures and what I always find is that when BB folds to my cbet at x% added to the times that BB calls (or raises) and I win at y%, I am always priced in for a cbet bluff with my entire range. When I carry this on I tend to find that the same holds true for the rest of the streets and I'm left with the understanding that I should be tight preflop and 3 barrel every hand that I open. But that can't be right.

When I'm considering this, should I be grouping my value cbets and bluff cbets differently? I just compare my entire betting range (which, based on the math that I'm pretty sure is incorrect, is 100% of my opening range) to BBs entire range and find his folding percentage. Is there a glaring mistake that I'm making here or is this stuff that I just need to continue working on to find simple mistakes.

no , OTF, villain will just hands that naturally will fold anytime because they complete whiffed. Once called, villains range is much narrower, usually consists of one piar hands and weaker draws, but yet there can be sets and 2 pair, so pretending you alwys have the best hand because you raised pre is the best way to lose money.
