From the cutoff, I would open every suited ace and offsuit aces down to A-5. The most important card to have is an ace. To know the best hands to three-bet, we should first look at the most common hands that the cutoff calls with. For example, let’s say the cutoff opens and you are on the button. When choosing which combinations to bluff, you want to choose combinations that block the calling range of your opponent. So, first rule of thumb is to stick to mostly suited combos when three-betting and avoid the offsuit combos in order to manage your frequencies. If someone is not careful with their frequencies, their bluff ranges can quickly get out of whack because of how many three-bet offsuit combos they have. There are 12 ways to make an offsuit hand preflop and only 4 ways to make a suited hand. When I see someone three-betting offsuit combos such as K-J, my first assumption is that this player does not balance their three-betting range.
