UTG vs SB realistic 3-bet range
Playing 10K hands of GG R&C 10NL for the past 3 days, I've realized that there is literally 0 bluff on 3 bet pot. Since they fold all suited connectors and low pockets, they have no hand to bluff on the river or I can fold out. To exploit, I started to build more realistic calling range from EP player vs SB 3-bet. I would like to take advice.
Let's start with SB. Due to preflop rake on GG, GTO flats a lot with 'not good enough to 3-bet and face 4-bet' hands like suited broadway. so their 3-bet range is full of value hands. I've made an adjustment based on my experience.
As 3-bet range is quite tight, I've tighten up a little bit of UTG calling range but not much different from the optimal range.
I would be very happy to hear your opinion.

Is there some hand history in there somewhere?
Hmm why did i miss it. I can just pull the data from my hand histories. I'll look into it and let you know
Your adjusted UTG’s calling range makes sense given the pool tendencies.
Given a value-heavy SB 3-bet range, you should tighten your UTG calling range. However, it’s critical not to overfold much, as UTG still needs to defend a reasonable portion of its opening range.
Fold more on rivers and focus on value extraction rather than bluff-catching.
Feel free to share your hands for further discussion.
Thanks. This is BN vs Co but I don't think I can bluff raise on the river with this. good bluff catcher, Ac, is still alive and imo they are not likely to fold Ax.
Additional question, what would be the best slowplay hand when I am oop?
I am checking a lot with AA on T or lower high board and sets or good draws on A, Q high boards.
