Why don't you consider a 4-bet?
Well now that you mention I forgot to remove my 4bet range in the calculations. But the reason this even became a question is lately when I 4bet strong hands villain folds, and when I 4bet light I get shoved on. I'm losing money in 3bet pots OOP. So I'm exploring my options. That utg range is also not concrete, its my basic range averaged out, if the game is playing tight, I'll probably open this range. If it is playing loose I'll tend to tighten it up. This is just an estimation.

When Hero faces a call for 6bb into a pot of 13.5bb, then Hero's pot odds are
6bb/19.5bb = 30.8%
Why do you add-in the amount your calling when that money isn't in the pot yet?

According to your equity calc., Hero has 34.8% equity. If this call would close the action for the entire hand, then it would be a +EV call.
This is what I needed to hear, the example I've given is over-simplified and more factors are needed to get a accurate answer.
