Default A preflop question for the 2-3 style blind structure

Last night, I was playing in a blind structure in which the small blind is 2/3 of the big blind. Heres a sample situation:

Some folds, a loose/passive limps, some more folds, and the LAG button raises. We are in the small blind, and the BB is a straightforward TAG.

The button is raising maybe the top 30% of his hands as well as at least a random 10% of the rest--and that's before he went on mega tilt from a recent hand in which we had KK and he had Q8 on a Q88(Kx) board. He has raised 52o preflop, before the tough hand. Now he's really steaming.

We have also iso-raised him before with ATo, and gone to showdown on a KQQ and 2 rags board, and showed the ace high (he had JJ). So both he and the BB know we are capable of isolating.

If we were in a normal blind structure, I would:
Raise with 66+, A8o+, A6s+, KQs
Call with KQo, KJs, QJs, QTs-JTs
and fold the rest.

Since it was a 2/3 small blind, I planned to:
Raise 22+, A6o+, A2s+, KJo+, KJs-KQs, KQo-KJo
Call KTs-K7s, QJs-Q8s, JTs-J9s

So, how'd I do, micros?
