Basic reasons for why reraising SC, PPs is better

Say he does call, you fire a cb and take it down often.

I'm pretty sure the 3b is +EV by itself. The cb is probably +EV taken alone also.

So shouldn't we be opening up out 3 betting range to even more then? We 3 bet our premium hands, SCs, pps and what about junk braodway hands? No, too likely they're being dominated? What about off suit connectors? Or total junk? If the 3 bet and c bet are +EV anyways why not.

Is there any hands we don't 3 bet with, but cold call?

If our range is too wide we will only end up being 4-bet too light for our liking. Or at least called too often.

3-betting behavior varies wildly from opponent to opponent. Theres no hard fast rules of 'raise X when in X position".
