Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
1 fold, MP calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, SB raises to $4.2, BB calls $3.95, MP folds, Hero ???

im running at 16/12/1.7
SB 20/16/6/184
BB 75/0/0.6/25

considering the position and the AF of the SB, is it correct to put him on 99+, AQ+, maybe even 88?
BB has been calling ATC basically, so im leaning towards giving him a fairly wide range of A/x, K/x, Q/x, 77+, so im not really worried about him.

I probably call here with position and re-evaluate after the flop.

I agree, especially given stack sizes. You have excellent position here, use it well!

I'd rather not have 2 players coming with me on the flop with QQ even with position. I'd bump it up and isolate. If both push and we are beaten or dominating. oh wells

Very easy 4bet preflop. I pop it to ~$15 and call a shove.

I agree. BB has ATC, and SB has a decent range, JJ+, AK, maybe AQ. Gotta reraise.

MP limps, and a TAG raises from the button. You do not need any kind of a hand there. If SB is a thinking player he should be 3-betting a ton there, including hands like 77, T9s, AJ, etc.

I certainly agree with this logic, but I'm not certain the games at these stakes are playing that aggressively and they're 135 BB effective so stacking off might not be great. It's probably fine though but I wouldn't give him a super wide range because of the mega fish in the BB.
