Do you play guys that kind of hands early (Axs, 78s, 98s,etc.)?? Should I mix my hands or just stay with “thight is right”??  Do you open that kind of hands from every position or only Cutoff/BTN so in position?

Depends on table dyanamics but if I have a 25-30+ bb stack I open them from all over. If I have good players to my left who are looking to pick off loose opens I tighten up and play these more from late positon. If I have rocks and weak players to my left I will gladly play these all day.

I also mix these hands into my 3 betting range for balance (pretty sure I overthink these 5 dollar donkaments). Ax suited are nice hands to 3 bet because you have the ace as a blocker card and hands like A2-A5 can also flop a wheel draw in addition to a flush draw.

Tight is right is the way to go if your stack is under 25 bigs. You need fold equity on your side.

I mean you should probably have 40+ bigs for a healthy 3 bet arsenal but at the micros so many guys fold to any sign of aggression unless they have a premium that I don't always follow that rule…
