Opening Your 3 Betting Range?

[retleftolc]

Okay, I realize that this is less important at the stakes I currently play (think the smallest stakes possible-then go 1 level lower). I was reading over Aba's well post and he talked about how opening his 3 betting range helped him.

I understand how this would help ones play, as it would be much harder for your opponent to put you on a hand if you 3 bet 78s every once in a while.

My questions:

What is the typical three bet situation?

Wouldn't you want to do this with hands that aren't easily dominated by the initial raiser?

Could we post some hands where this has been done effectively? (I would but this is not in my bag o' tricks yet)
