Calling 3bets in position

Hi! My thoughts on preflop strategy involve playing many 3bet pots in position since everyones range is narrow predictable and with high implied odds. The question is where is this boundry that makes hands profitable or dangerous to play preflop. Is a6s nice or less than a10s is risky? is 56s a smart call or less than 910s is -ev? What do u think cause lately ive been calling a lot and winning lot but maybe this could be a trap long term. Thnx for any replys!

if i suspect that the 3 better is a nit, i put him on premium hands. something like jj+ , AKs, etc. so when im clling three bets i want to have cards that are totally different from his range. Medium suited connectors. medium to low pocket pairs just in case i hit trips and stack him( assuming we r both deep). you dont want to be calling him with a weaker ace and you certainly dont wanna be dominated in any case. this is just how i think of it. dont know if its right or wrong but i have stacked alot of people with medium card or one gappers. it becomes a long term trap if you call the three bet and you dont connect to it at all and then decide to get all creative and blow your stack off.

in my opinion if your going to call a 3bet with a medium strength hand and you miss the flop totally ,id reccomend letting go unless you feel like your opponent is weak for some reason.

none of them seem like good calls, if someone is 3betting super tight and narrow, laugh at them and exploitatively fold, you just caused them virtually no profit from the top of their range, 100bb is too shallow to call 3bets to set mine so its definitely too shallow to do it with anything else, because

A) they wont flop enough equity often enough,
B) when you do flop equity you will have to play it passively since you dont have any fold equity

set mining v narrow ranges is the best since you dont flop equity much but when you do its enough to gii virtually all the time.

find baudibi post on lightbulb moments its the best at explaining this
