I'm going to separate the big blind and the small blind since people tend to use different strategies (i do!). In big blind the 3betting ranges tend to be polarized, and in the small blind they tend to be a bit merged since calling would encourage the big blind to squeeze a lot. Although this villain is not folding a lot to 4bet, which may indicate that he is merging a lot.


This villain is a 16/11, Total 3bet of 5, Fold to 4bet: 44
resteal from sb: 7 fold sb to steal: 84
resteal from bb vs co: 8 fold bb vs co steal: 84
resteal from bb vs bu: 16 fold bb vs bu steal: 74
resteal from bb vs sb: 8 fold bb vs sb steal: 78



3betting hands that went to showdown:

AA: BB vs LP, LP vs MP, BU vs CO, BB vs SB, MP vs EP
KK: LP vs MP, BB vs MP
QQ: LP vs MP, SB vs EP
JJ: MP vs EP, SB vs LP, SB vs MP, BU vs CO
TT: LP vs EP, BU vs CO, BB vs LP, MP vs MP
99: MP vs EP
88: BB vs SB, BB vs LP
AK: BB vs EP, SB vs LP, LP vs EP, EP vs EP
AQ: SB vs LP, SB vs EP, BB vs LP
AJ: SB vs MP
AT: SB vs MP, SB vs LP
A9s: SB vs LP, LP vs MP
A6s: SB vs LP
A3s: SB vs MP
KQ: SB vs EP, SB vs MP
QJ: SB vs MP, SB vs LP
JTo: BB vs LP

1. MP vs EP: JJ+ (99+ vs fishes)
2. LP vs EP: TT+, AK
3. SB vs EP: TT+, AQ+, KQ
4. BB vs EP: QQ+, AK
5. LP vs MP: TT+, A9s-ATs, AK
6. SB vs MP: TT+, A2s+, AQ+, KQ, QJ
7. BB vs MP: QQ+, AQ+, KQ
8. SB vs LP: 88+, A2s+, KJs+, QJs-98s, ATo+, KJo+, QJo-JTo
9. BB vs LP: 88+, AQs, A5s-A2s, AKo, ATo, KTo, QTo, JTo
10. BB vs SB: 88+, AQs+, A5s-A2s, QTs, AKo, KTo, QTo

Sorry for my english. I struggled a lot writing this, and struggled with the ranges of course hahaha.


I think that knowing villain's 3betting ranges is crucial for choosing a strategy to defend ourselves. To know when to call 3bets and when to 4bet. Baluga talks about this in Easy Game.
You did pretty good with this. The basic idea is to take the information that you have on an opponent and try to extrapolate that into complete ranges (as much as possible). Doing this type of practice will help you to develop an understanding of what different types of players are likely to have in different situations involving 3-betting pre-flop, etc.
