Do you have any stats on villain?
I would fold here vs a tight 3 bettor.

I think you shouldn´t fold here without a read that BB has low 3bet BB vs BTN. I have KQo in my calling range here. Or if you are not comfortable to play this hand in 3bet pot, then you can 4bet to 0,35 a fold if he 5bet. Most people on microstakes play very straight forward when they face 4bet OOP.

Remember don´t play big pot (like calling 3bet) if you have no idea what to do postflop, just because someone tells you that you should play it. It´s better to make small mistake preflop than big mistake postflop.

For the beginning try to take the range you open from BTN and pick up some hand you should defend vs 3bet. Then try to think how to play these hands postflop on different boards.

OMG, SUCH GOOD ADVICE!!

I can't believe I didn't realize this first. I actually have to review my entire game again, but I think I'll have much more solid foundations afterwards :)

Thank you, really.

vs a super tight range our hand is often dominated and it's a fold

vs a semi tight range works ok as 4bet bluff due to blockers

vs any 3betting enough it's a standard call

readless I would go with a population read from your stake which I assume will be #1 or #2
