anyways, maybe its just me alone on this thought but i'm really not a fan of over defending blinds. occassionally i'll throw in a 3bet with a SC against a 35+ att to steal high fold to 3bet just to balance my 3bet out of the blinds range a bit. but remember that when we defend our blinds light:

1) we're playing with a weaker range
2) we're playing OOP

we're playing a 100 BB cash game not a tournament, so I'd much rather defend by button by 3betting light than defend my blinds.
1. This is almost completely irrelevant. Increasing the size of a range does not necessarily decrease the value of the range as a whole. Moreover, adding a -EV hand to our range does not necessarily decrease the value of a range as a whole.

2. Only when we see a flop, which makes this at least partially irrelevant.
