Hey, if this is 4-handed, it makes sense. You said Villain is MP, though. So this is what? 6-max?

Can we get a 6-max player to talk about UTG ranges?
Yeah, it's pretty loose. 6max v FR through, all you need to really think about is what you'd play from UTG+3 if the first 3 players all folded, since you're then playing 6max.

As a default barring any particular factors favouring a looser open like a big fish in the blinds, I'd open like 99+, ATs+, K9s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, AJo+, KQo and I consider that quite loose. A typical tightish UTG range at 6max might be like TT+, AJs+, KJs+, QJs, JTs, AQo+, KQo.

Aside from the range to open though, I'm more interested in commenting on "is it really profitable for UTG to call a 3b OOP" to say that it's probably _never_ profitable to call a 3bet OOP. Maybe if you're very very good at playing postflop, but really I think if you're 3bet OOP you should either 4bet planning to stack off if necessary, or fold.
