I don't get it. Are you saying that 3-betting AQs and the like OOP is EV+ because 3-betting in position is less EV+?

Your logic is probably flawed from the start because you can't calculate EV by comparing it to another situation. Meaning, 3-betting OOP has to be EV+ in itself, and this has nothing to do with 3-betting in position.

I also don't like the examples, I'd be more willing to stack off in example 1 then in example 2. Villain is showing a lot of strenght there, i don't think JJ-KK often play like that, whereas a float is more likely in example 1.

Is 3-betting OOP with AQs EV+ then?

It depends . Is villain raising UTG or from the button? Is he a nit or a maniac? What is my image? Stacksize? Limpers?

Reasons to 3-bet OOP :
- You are way ahead of late position-raisors range (for value)
- You don't want to play OOP without the initiative (Calling OOP is certainly the worst option IMO. Calling in position can sometimes be good though)
- You want to isolate preflop-raisor
- You want to take the pot down (this is a good result for AQ OOP)

And ofcourse for metagame, your 3-bettingrange is wider. Either villain is going to tighten up in late position, this is good. Or even better, villain is going to start playing big pots with you with marginal holdings. This is one of the biggest moneymakers in 6-max NL IMO. A lot of seemingly decent players don't seem to know how to play in big 3-bet pots.

Also note that 3-betting for info, or knowing where you are at, is not in this list. It's a bonus, but overrated.
