So yea, I'm really having trouble in the blinds, and it's mostly with hands like these.

So I sit in the SB and villain (20/15 reg) opens from utg, What's the best to do here?
Just let ATo go? 3-bet an utg raise with a pretty marginal hand? Just call, play oop vs a decent player, and maybe lose a lot when Axx comes off?
And what if the same player opens from the CO/BU?

I lose a lot from the blinds, way to much so yea.

Fold, I would also fold A/J here as well. If he opened it from CO/BTN I would call.

I defend like AJ+ KQ sometimes KJs depending on villain, and pretty much every pair.

Fold. If hes opening 15% overall hes probs opening like 10% UTG which means your not dominating much. Callings bad cause youre OOP with a weak hand and raising bad cause hes only going to fold his weak pairs, 3bet his big hands and call like AJ/AQ/99-JJ probs.

Obv it depends on villain, but I was more like, would you ever recommend 3-betting with easily dominated hands like KQ from the blinds?

dont fold because you hate KQ lol.

people at 25nl 6m are opening like 15%+ right? KQo does ok against that I think, even given the positional advantage.

I know you are right. But I always into trouble with K-Q. Just hate that hand.

Edit: I am not ecucated enough on poker I suppose. Could you explain the 15% + thing please?

I think he means that the average player at these stakes opens with his top 15% (or more). You should try out pokerstove (you can download it for free, just google it) to get a better feel for ranges, I do the same thing.

Ok. I have pokerstove already. I will try to put it to use.

Perhaps I will search youtube for ways to utilize PS.

Thanks.

imo i would add F3b and +4bet instead of limp and sqz but dk im not good anyways.

F3B is a must actually. it makes pre spots way easier

K/Q plays good post-flop but you can't value 3 bet it pre-flop either unless villain is a fish. So if say a 20/17 reg opened from UTG to 3 BB's and I had K/Qo in BB I would just flat call around 80%, fold around 20%.

Why do you pick random numbers to play profitably some % of the time, and non-optimally others?
