lol I like how the original thread of that hand was 1 reply only and it was yours.
hehe i think i need to work on making my posts more interesting

Anyway, my $0.02 regarding 3-betting. I want to avoid tables where I'm getting 3-bet by people that have position on me frequently because I have trouble dealing with it as you can see in above hand. Because of this I think we should be 3-betting at a much higher rate in position than OOP (our edge is increased even more than the obvious inherent edge of playing the hand in position). The value of being able to take a free turn seems to be more and more important as I've moved up in stakes (or moved down lol). Although I've come to this realisation only lately...

Another problem I've come across is that when I 3-bet big pairs and get my flop c-bet called, I tend to get into a check/call mode on the turn and river and lose a ton of value from weaker hands in an attempt to not pay off sets. Block betting is a way to get around this, but that seems easily exploitable. I'd have to play the nuts the same way as these hands against an aware opponent.

As far as ranges are concerned, I agree that there's no point defining a specific range against a specific opponent. The flow of the table is what's more important. While I might 3-bet a hand in the first 15 minutes of my session at the table, 1 hour later I might play the hand completely differently (mostly because of the table image I'll have accumulated etc. and the likelyhood of people playing back at me more and more).
