Utg play

I have some questions in some spots

We on UTG open near 15% and have pretty standart fold to 3bet  50-60, OR AJo

MP or CO make call pretty tight 8-12% (22+,AQo+,ATs+, 87s+, J9s+) 

And Flop comes Kh 7c 2s

on such board he calls tp+, srp and bckdr fd - QJs, 98s, ATs+ (maybe QTs, JTs)

We have only 34% FE

and even turn comes T - we don`t have enough fold equity, and only on the Q we have near 40% with our gutshot.

It`s easy ch/fold spot? And with what hands, which missed flop, we must bet? All broadway that has bckdr fds+oesd?

Interesting, I don't know if I agree with the range villain calls a cb with though.

I think I would like to cbet anything with bdfd, bdsd, 22+ and all air if villain folds more than 40% of the time.. so I think that's possibly 100% of my range?

I suppose that if villain plays more optimal, raising a decent amount of your OOP cbets then x/c some hands would make sense like KK-JJ.. x/r: 77, 22, AQs(bdfd), AJs(bdfd). 

And I would b/f a 1:1 ratio of hands that I would b/c or b/shove with.

These ranges I wrote are a bit rough and I haven't done the math on combos, and % etc but it's probably close to what I would do while playing.. I don't know if it's correct either just my 2cents, will be interesting to see others comments.

I wrote that we have only near 35 FE on such board with this hand. It's bad, couse we don't have FE on turn.

The above ranges need to be revised MP or CO position is very relevant and definitely can't have the same ranges

15% vs above range excl. QQ+ AK 58% to 42% which means we can comfortably cbet and barrel off given we have a range advantage - villain only has KQ or a set here

Villain's calling range has top pair or better 10.8% of the time

So really you only should be worried about how often he is floating and even then i don't think that's much of a problem, if he is floating hands like T high 9 high etc that works to your advantage

I have some questions:

where do you get 34% FE from?

Why do you feel a 'tight' villain will float with such a propensity?

What is your 4bet bluff range versus a 3bet?

What is villain's 3bet?

How do you respond to 3bets?

Feel free to limit your answers to UTG versus MP or CO

Why does MP and CO have different range vs UTG? I don't think this is true since they're both playing against a 15% opening range. What would be different is if you are in BTN and playing against CO 25% opening range. I also think cold calling w/ AK, QQ would be better vs a 15% opening range.
