How to interpret this BTN vs SB 3-bet range
This BTN vs SB 3-bet preset is a call-centered defense, with pure premium 4-bets and selective mixed fringes.
The grid retains a broad suited core and many pairs as calls, while 4-bets appear at the top and in specific mixed candidates. Notice the contrast between pure-call suited connectors and nearby lower connectors that mix folds.
Offsuit exceptions
AQo and AJo are call-heavy, KJo uses all three actions, and ATo splits only between 4-bet and fold.
Pair and connector core
77, 66, and 54s are pure calls; 99, 88, 55, and 44 are call-heavy, unlike 97s and 86s, which mostly fold.
Make two recall columns: pure calls first, then mixed exceptions A8s/A7s/A4s/A3s, KJo, ATo, K6s, and the small pairs.
