Button raises, you're in the SB or BB - what's the absolute worst hand you'd 3-bet with?

Notwithstanding stack sizes, type of player you're facing etc but just generally. I'm thinking mine would probably be AJo/77. Yours?

Huge Stacked, other players being very very tight and having enough chips to not be pot committed on the 3 bet, probably something like 99. I dont think i would risk it with anything less than that, Maybe AQ suited but thats it. So many variables and thats only in extreme situations. Im generally a more solid player though, given the type of players and stack sizes, time in the tournament and everything it could be w something as crazy as 36o. It just depends, I have probably done it before with something like that just because i thought i could take the raises w a squeeze play. Its just too many variables to decide.

I don't understand the question, how to answer this question without the stack size and blind stealing percentage.

It's already bingo , not poker LOL

If the button has been opening 100% I might 3 bet any 2 cards in that spot.

The higher the steal percent is, the wider I will 3 bet them, more so if they have high fold to 3bet. Assuming they are not the type to want to see every flop, and every river. There are times against certain players I 3 bet them every single time, they learn to stop. Nits that are aware of position play are great to do it to ATC. They just want the blinds way too much, they do not want to play the hand.

Entirely depends on the players and stacks, there's no such thing as "every time" in Poker.

Yeah, I run into so many people in tourneys especially who jump in every single time they have that button spot with no action. They make for easy targets sometimes! :)

As the question was which absolute minimum, I completely agree with this.
Actually in my opinion any answer other than 72o is wrong.

If the question was about a specific situation, my answer obviously could be totally different.
