It is normal to lose money from the blinds, everyone does.

As to whether you are folding too much, I don't think so. The sample size is small but you are playing WAY too many hands from the SB.

Its weird that your 3bet % is so much higher in the blinds than anywhere else.

It is good to 3bet lightly against steals some of the time but it works so much better on the button. You need to 3bet more from the button.

Your results look fine from the blinds but sample size is way too small to draw any conclusions.

At the micros, most players aren't really stealing as much as they should, so folding a lot to steals isn't going to be a leak. It is possible to crush the micros while folding to 85% of 3bets and 85% to steals simply by focusing on isolating and valuebetting fish in position.

1)I don't like to 3 bet light from the button : a)because there are 2 players to act after me SB,BB b)i don't like to 3bet light early openers

2)I dont like to 3bet QQ-,AK,AQ preflop.I think that you can extract the most of their value by just calling.

So,how does 3 betting from button works and how do you do it?

eg.I'm not saying my reasoning is the right one.It's just the way i'm thinking for the time being :)

3betting light from the button works more than 3betting from the blinds because everyone knows people 3bet light in the blinds and people can call more because they're IP, 3betting light occasionally against MP and CO opens on the BTN, is real good.

Not 3betting QQ+ AK against most people, is honestly, losing so so much money. You might think you can make more money by just calling but this is just not gonna be true against 95% of opponents.

You should just play really tight in the blinds at this level imo, You're in the worst position of the table postflop, which sucks and if you're calling with pretty hands like 89s etc you're just gonna get in lots of crap spots where you hit a weak draw or pair and end up investing lots of money/getting into tricky spots all to win 1.5bb, just play tight, im sure it will work out better.

I don't call with suited connectors 2 way from blinds.

I don't 3 bet AK and QQ from any position,except if i'm playing against a fish or somebody who plays very aggressively preflop.Elseway,most players would fold worse and call/raise better hands.

And i never 3 bet light from button ,because i think it would be very wrong to do it against early openers.

Does anybody has some different opinion?

You should 3-bet QQ/AK as standard against most people.

except if i'm playing against a fish or somebody who plays very aggressively preflop.

This is pretty contradictory. Be less inclined to 3-bet QQ/AK vs. a fish (i.e. a 45/3 type). Fish are generally not aggressive postflop.
3betting light occasionally against MP and CO opens on the BTN, is real good.
