IPoker, $1/$2 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

CO: $200 (100 bb)
BTN: $274.94 (137.5 bb)
Hero (SB): $446.90 (223.5 bb)
BB: $295.98 (148 bb)
UTG: $283.93 (142 bb)
MP: $259.75 (129.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T T
UTG raises to $6, 2 folds, BTN raises to $18, Hero?

UTG: 23/18
15% open
37% fold to 3bet overall
450 hands

BTN: 29/22 8.5% total 3bet (400 hands only so positional 3bet is of no use)
(BB fish 42/4)

How should we play our ranges here as a default, in blinds, facing a utg raise + a 3bet?

I don't really have a good strategy here tbh. As a default I am just 4bet/calling KK+ and flatting AK,TT-QQ.

Thoughts on flatting our entire range? If you advocate that, how wide would you go?

What if we flat, and UTG 4bets, how loose would you go broke?

if both opponents are tough then you should probably use more of a balanced strategy. That probably involves flating your entire range or maybe including some light 4bets and 4betting a lot of hands.

Your suggested strategy is pretty face-up and exploitable (not that it's necessarily a bad thing but it would be vs a strong player).

I think SB's range is pretty value weighted here, looks something like a 3-4% range IMO cos UTG is opening 15% which isn't all that loose and he isn't folding that much.

Probably calling QQ+/AK
