    I think you are missing a point here. If you 3bet 10% from a button vs UTG, you are very loose, but if you 3bet 1% from buttons vs UTG then you are tight.
    On the other hand, if you 3bet 10% from button vs MP or LP, you are quite tight.

    I understand all of that, which is one of the reasons I why I wrote the longer post than the first one that was a cookie cutter statement. It's also one of the reasons that I recomended that the OP just post hands instead of generalizations, because most decisions that are made during a hand are going to be situational dependant.

    Basically I forgot to write in the bold part (again showing my true blonde nature):

    I thought about fixing the post but think I should leave it as it is due to the responses.
    Sorry for any confusion that I caused.

    Assuming 100 deep and both players are regulars, 3betting range of a BU against an UTG open has almost no bluffs as bluffing a tight range is unprofitable. Most regs will 3bet KK+, some throw in QQ, and a few will add AK. If the reg appears to be tight, it's far more likely to be KK+.

    Above is all based off of my very limited experience. Above is also all very villain dependent. I think we are in agreement that to really talk about this we should have a HH infront of us.

    As for the definition of "very tight" I'd say anyone with a VPIP under 16.
