There's no point in asking for advice if you're going to be defensive when you get it. It's better for your learning process if you ask questions to understand why we have suggested what we did, than for you to back-pedal and justify something we have criticized.

It's way too wide for even your widest adjustment (Say it out loud: "13% from UTG is spew").

If that's your 'average' range, then that means that plenty of the time, your range is actually even wider than that. Many of us have commented that the range you posted is too wide, even for an adjustment. So clearly, being even wider is even worse.

You should be adjusting your ranges to exploit table dynamics, but you're over-widening your OOP range here. As jyms pointed out, you only want to open up a slight bit from EP, and a little bit in MP, and then you open up a lot from the CO and BTN.

You're getting involved in far too many hands OOP. I'm sure you've heard that "position is power" in NLHE, but you have failed to let that fact work its way into your pre-flop habits. You need to start folding a ton of hands UTG/MP that you would almost always play from CO/BTN.

Also, you need to stop thinking about villain's range as though it's the same for all villains. You can't just assume that different people 3-bet the same range. TAG's are likely to be similar, and LAG's are likely to be similar, but the extreme donk-fish that is so common at the micros is going to do very strange things.
