I think slowplaying preflop can certainly help you a decent amount but more importantly just get to know how to play your 3 bet defending range. One of the most important things for you if you're defending lightly will be to float hands that pick up equity on the turn so that villain's either bluff cards that hit you or so that you can jam over light double barrels.

EDIT: I DO fold to much to 3-bets, not the other way around.

What would be our standard defend range vs a decently aggressive regular?

AQo+, AJs+?

KQo+, KJs+

QJs

JTs

T9s

66+

I'm just not a fan of defending a hand like T9s, because you're going to be in so many marginal situations where your opponent puts pressure on you, and you'll have some one pair+gutshot or something in that range of strenght, and you're not that deep, so trying to flop big isn't that profitable.

Also, because Villian's range is wide, it's not like we stack him when we do hit something.

Have had same problem as you since I'm a nit at heart. But to be honest it's not that hard to fix. Just incorporate more 4bet bluffs and call wider with decent hands like suited broadways, some suited connectors etc. Also it's important to get a grasp on each individual player. Some will give up almost always after you call their cbet and they are empty. Others will keep bluffing and then you will have to be ready to make some light call downs. Also once you show them you can play a hand that way and call down light (even if you were wrong) dynamics change.

Also what James says is very important.

Bump?

Can the pros shed some light on their standard continuing ranges against different types of opponents in 3-bet pots?

Define a decently aggressive regular? What kind of 3 bet % range are you talking about?

Vs the most aggressive regulars I play with I ll go as wide as calling any Ax, Kxs, K9o+, Q8s+ any broadway, 54s+,T8s+, any pair and then add some 4 bet bluffs. It often is vs villains who 3 bet over 20% and also make it 6x over my button minraise so we re getting nice odds with a deep spr vs a wide range IP. As they raise bigger and as they 3 bet a tighter range I obv tighten up my calls as well. Clearly your going to get into some sticky spots but I think its best to just play, review (with thorough range analysis), and get better. Just remember that its going to be stickier for villain than it is for you when he has a wide wide range and is giving a nice price preflop for you to continue. 

Another adjustment you may be overlooking is that you probably should tighten up your button range when you feel your getting hammered on by the blinds. If your opening like 70%+ OTB you need to be defending a ridiculously wide range to justify the raise or villain needs to be really pissing away $$ when you do defend and in single raised pots. If one or both the blinds ( I pay closer attention to the bb) is attacking and defending your raises feel free to tighten up to even 45% OTB.

These are my ranges:


Flats vs 3bet (vs 10% range)


Flat vs 3bet (vs 20% range)


4bet Range ( 10%)

4bet Range (20%)


If villains F4B is above 60% with a good sample I add in a lot more Axo. If it's really low I'll throw in 77 and 88. These ranges combined with a tightened opening range should really bring heavy 3betters some pain and fewer folds, would love to have some opinions on them as well. I'm looking to widen my range further as I cba tightening my opening range much when even heavy 3betters generally fold to steals enough to keep wide opening ranges profitable.

Taking this range as an example, I just don't feel comfortable that I can profitably call with A7s-A9s/AJo/J9s/89s/T9s/Q9s/QTs/77/QJs when there's so little action left to play. You'll have to call the flop with a pair or some kind of mediocre draw and you'll likely face a bomb on the turn.

I'd probably rather click these hands back than flatcall.
But if I keep folding too much, they will obviously 3-bet even wider.
