Default I hate 3-betting form the sb

In both 5-10, and to a lesser extent 10-20, I dislike 3-betting stuff other than pairs and big aces (it depends on the raiser but AJo-ATs on average) v the typical raiser.

The big deal here is stuff like medium aces, KQo/s-KTo/s, QJs, JTs, etc. I call a lot from the sb, especially with suited stuff, so its not like I think am too tight. But how much do i give up? I think the games are loose and my image otherwise is OK and I call enough so I am not getting run-over.

I realize there is value to getting headup but I just don't like being out of position with the onus on me and a questionable showdown hand. Plus I always feel like there are often loose guys on my left (I know I have a seat selection leak- I look too much right) in these 5-10 and 10-20 games, so its a big 3-way pot and my hand blows a lot of the time when I do 3-bet this stuff and when I flop good there are limited options.

Anyway, its easier to get away with at 5-10 and less so at 10-20 and I feel like I am playing on auto-pilot so do I need to shake this up so I can learn how to really play and not just win money from tards. I am looking at lots of other stuff in my game, maybe I will bombard the forum with posts later on but if anyone has ideas here let me know. thanks.
