How to interpret this BB vs SB range

This BB versus SB preset has no pure 3-bet entries, while a broad set of suited holdings and selected offsuit holdings are pure calls.

The grid places every shown 3-bet in a mixed entry rather than in a pure-aggressive band. Notice the contrast between the extensive suited call region, the mixed offsuit boundaries, and the listed pure folds at the top of the grid.

01

Every 3-bet is mixed

The pure-aggressive list is empty; displayed 3-bets occur only in mixed entries such as T9s, AQo, AJo, 88, A2o, and 22.

02

Top-grid contrast

AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, AKs, AQs, AJs, and AKo are pure folds, while AQo mixes 3-bet and fold and AJo mixes 3-bet and call.

03

Suited connector split

T9s mixes 3-bet and call, whereas 98s, 87s, 76s, 75s, 74s, 65s, 64s, 63s, 54s, 53s, 52s, 43s, 42s, and 32s are pure calls.

Hide the grid and first mark the empty pure-3-bet band; then recall the four boundary hands and rebuild the suited-call region from T9s downward.
