Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is BB with A :diamond: T :club:
2 folds, CO calls, BTN raises, SB 3-bets, Hero ??

Should be a very easy decision preflop but I've lost the sense for it

CO plays 70/1, BU is a tight reg that isn't that good, SB is pretty callhappy but pretty loose and quite good. He plays ~35/25.

4betting seems over played, but can I call a 3bet here? I see good players doing it sometimes, but I find it hard to create a range for this.

If I have a coldcall range here, what would it be? Something like 66-88, ATo+, A9s+, KTs+, KJo+, QTs+ en JTs?

Or does having a coldcalling range mean that I don't have a capping range and I should call everything?

The Limper is probably never going to fold, does this mean that I can play more hands with implied odds like 98s because we are always 4way?

Fold Preflop and just call ATs. ATo is too often dominated by a better ace and suffers from reverse implied odds, given you hit your toppair and somebody has you dominated. you should just coldcall PP's and good drawing hands like T9s JTs but keep folding offsuited hands with reverse implied Odds like ATo and KJo. you just get in trouble with these hands.
