The thing to keep in mind with some of these hands is that when you 3 bet you want to have hands that are premium hand structures or raise for that matter, for instance in the AKJ9ds hand I am pretty much 3 betting always for several reasons, it makes it look like I have aces, and bet tons of super dry boards and low paired boards and get more folds from weak rundowns since "they put me on AAxx". The same goes for QJ98ss, given your Q or J is suited, if you bet and get called by lets say T975, JT97 and the flop comes T8x with your flush draw, you are absolutely crushing them and will get the money in as a huge favorite.
Another thing to keep in mind is the power of the NFD, in 3 bet pots, people will call with tons of low-mid rundowns and when you flop the NFD with a pair or overpair you are a huge favorite over a smaller flush draw with a wrap so 3 betting hands like AJT9ss is good, since you are crushing any JT9x hand that will hit the flop.
given this, against a player that raises more than AA we should be 3 betting very wide IP
KQJT-T987ss
KQT9ss-T976ss
KQJ9ss-T986ss
most broadways combos suited to the A or ds
AKQJ
AKQT
AKQ9
AKJT
AKJ9ss speculative since QTx is the only flop we can hit a flop
AKT9ss speculative since QJx is the only flop we can hit a wrap
AQJT
AQJ9
AQT9
other pair combos like JJT9ss is good too but are more speculative
UTG
1. fold
2. raise 3x
3. raise 3x
CO
1. pot or raise 3x
2. fold
3. 3 bet depending on stack sizes and UTG, call
BTN
1. 3 bet pot almost always
2. raise or call depending on blinds/limper
3. 3 bet depending on player and blinds, 50/50 for call or 3 bet
SB.
1. call always, never raise this one way hand, you shoudl get paid on an A high flop even more if you had raised pf
2. call sometimes, usually just a fold, NFD is pretty meh oop and you won't get paid much, you want a 356 flop with your NFD to continue usually
3. same as the other depends, always call sometimes 3 bet depending on the UTG's raising tendencies
4. raise everytime, this is the nuts pf as far as hand values goes
5. sometimes call, sometimes fold, its a solid hand but your position is terrible and you will have to c/f a lot of flops being MW
Misc
1. both are great, AKJT suited to the A is almost always a 3 bet for the sheer fact that it can flop so well and people will put you on aces
2. only T987 and I always almost 3 bet this
3. KK73 is fine to set mine/play poker, 4567 is a great hand but needs a decent flop, this hand is kinda wierd
I run at around 25/17 but I still call way too much when I should be 3 betting, however most of my opponents are too stupid to raise anything but AA and makes 3 betting really unprofitable.
