Default Re: 25k Hands of Total Smashing

My min is 99 when an unknown raises from UTG. I'm sure it's a player dependent move, but is it something I should be doing more

If reraising vs. a correct utg open-raiser that 99 is one candidate for the correct hand, the others being 88 +/- 1 (the best formula in my opinion, and here one should consider e.g. one's position) and 77 (that could be as good as 22 - so there are also players who 3-bet any pair).

The 3-bet hands are based mainly on showdown poker values that are different from real poker and are based on 50% that's just perhaps an average of the pot odds, not the last position, re-reraise risk. In practise it can't make a significant difference as it's too close until one can prove that not 3-betting 22 is a sucker play.
