Default What are the standard 3-betting hands?

I'm new to the 6-max with only 10,000 hands in a .50/1. I likely should have looked into this earlier. With no read on a table, other than knowing that the players at the limit you play are generally very loose and very passive, what are your standard 3-betting hands?

Thus far, including the obvious hands, I've been 3-betting these hands (if the pot is already multi-way, this list might change slightly):

AA-88
AK-AQ
AJs

Hands that I have not been 3-betting routinely, but am curious about, are:

77
AJo
ATs
KQs
KJs
KQo
JTs

Also, if you're not 3-betting with these hands, are you cold-calling or folding?

Which hands you 3-bet depends so much on the raiser that it's hard to give meaningful "general" advice. In some situations I would fold AQ instead of 3-betting (very rare) and in other situations A8 is an easy 3-bet.

If only the PFR is in the pot then you almost never want to cold call, reraise or fold.

With the exception of JTs, I 3bet all of these almost every time.

edit- didnt realize you are playing .5/1. I suspect people rarely open light due to the passive nature of lower limit games so many of these hands probably turn into folds.
