Mayb a stupid question, but how far can you go with a 3 bet against a steal from any position.
Say SB tries to steal my BB, I have a good read on him and he tries to steal from SB with about 35% of his hands. I got QJo, this would give me about 46% equity, can I 3-bet here?
A few reason that can justify a raise:

1. I already invested 1 BB
2. I got position
3. I increase my fold equity

Am I correct in this reasoning?
What if I had KJo, this would give me 50% equity can I 3 bet here? And what about if the steal came from other positions? How far can I go with a call / raise.
My current fold bb to steal is around 60% so I need to improve my BB play. Any advise is appriciated greatly!

Never mind the call part, that's 70% of the normal requiered equity. But I am interested in what ranges I could raise.

You should not 3-bet.

1. is correct, but does not imply raising
2. is correct, but position is actually worth more if you don't have the initiative
3. you don't. 3-betting pre-flop and betting the flop is less effective in terms of fold equity than calling pre-flop and raising the flop - but costs the same.

I 3-bet all hands with > 50% equity against a steal from the BB
