Default 3 betting pf to isolate medium or large monkey

At the 3/6 party game I was wondering what hands everyone uses to 3 bet with in order to isolate a medium monkey (60% vpip w/ a pfr of 15%) and a large monkey (70% vpip and 25% pfr) assuming you are one to two seats to the left of him. these are my current standards but they may not be loose enough: in general I 3 bet with TT+, AKo, and AKs; vs a medium sized monkey (described above) I will 3 bet w/ 77+, any suited ace, ATo+, KJs+, and KQo; vs. the large monkey (described above) I will three bet w/ any pair, any ace, and KJo+. Let me know what you think?

A lot depends on how the monkey plays after the flop, and your own image. If he is capable of folding postflop, my 3-bet standards will be lighter than yours. If he goes into calldown mode, you obviously have to be more selective.

lets just assume that the monkey in both cases are average postflop in terms of agression, but are more than likely going to show down their hand.

I was also wondering what can be done if you happen to be on the right of this kind of monkey do you choose to raise a little more knowing he may reraise preflop to drive out other opponents and isolate you. This is obviously a riskier move, but how can you most effectively make it work?
