Start 3-betting light more. I get plenty of action on my big pairs and I have a rather tight image.

Does this not overprice the cost of playing the light hand you are raising with? Perhaps do this by minraising $4 to 8 instead of $4 to $14 for instance, with 10,10 for example.

So, you're the guy who min 3-bets AA?

Lol, the min 3-bet is one of the worst options here, the only thing worse would be just folding the aces preflop. Pop it up big or smooth call, I don't like getting fancy and making delicate raises with big pairs preflop. It gives opponents the idea that you've got a big hand, but also does not cost them much. Make 'em pay if you really want to lose a bit of deception, or keep your hand in disguise and just call the raise.

As a follow-up question, or rather, an expansion of the original, what are your thoughts about 3-bet vs. SC in position as opposed to out of position?
