Default Re: A Study on 3-Betting from the Small Blind

i dont really get why people would rather 3bet small pairs than QJo, JTs type hands against a steal

It depends how often A high goes to showdown. Small pocket pairs have value against someone who is unwilling to release A high. Another small advantage to PPs is that they can withstand putting in lots of bets when they make a strong hand, whereas QJ/JT cannot unless they make the straight or flush (in which case they usually only get 1 additional bet).
