Much depends on villain

Much depends on villain tendencies and specifics.For starters, full stacks no reads I'm willing to felt 88+. If we get a little bit shorter or villain 3bets more or more bigger(and I don't think his bigger 3bets are more weighted towards value, which initially I'd assume) 77 and 66 also. I'll 3bet any pair as a semibluff if he 3bets too often and the pot is big enough to make me think it's worth the risk. Less than 30bb I don't feel shy about getting it in with any pair if we've got enough feq. Neither am I eager to put money without feq into a dominating range. But by now we should know how much he 3bets.As for calling which is 22-77 for me unless I think villain is a nit it depends on implied odds. Depends on stack size and villain tendencies, how light will he stack, how passive is he post, does he check down, how often will he make a hand he'll lose a lot of chips with. Unless the 3bet is small, we're deep or win the pot some without makig a set we probably don't have good enough implied odds. Blinds 10/20

 I 3betship any pair all day long unless I think I face a freakishly tight range, like nitty villain that limps atc raises to 150. And 22,33,44 are way likelier to go into the muck than the rest. Blinds 25/50 ... 30/60, if bigger i think its good to just open shove them.we minraise with [22-66] effective stacks 1500tight villain goes all in, we? 88+/77+TAG goes all in, we? 77+/66+LAG goes all in, we? 66+/55+For 30/60 just lower requirements one pair or so.
