Sean you must consider the % of of the time you actually have the raiser beat. I'm reraising an amount about equal to that, slightly more. But it's still way less than 23%. Reraise that much and those players are going to be calling you with 88 and worse. And no, don't make it a range of hands. You're better off rolling a dice than being that predictable.

Fair enough, I just think you may be leaving value on the table. If the OPP starts calling/RRing you more lightly, you adjust accordingly--tighten up your own range. First impressions go far and if you are beating on someone with 3-bets, the resulting situation can become very easily exploited.

On the other hand, I've had a fair amount of OPPs that simply don't know how to respond to merciless 3-bets. They are too weak to stick it in light and therefore either call light and wonder what to do next or just fold too much.

Then again, this oscillation of exploitive strategies does indicate there will be an optimal mixed strategy, but I'm not too sure how to determine that...gonna have to mess around with the math I guess...
