How do you handle a SB min-raise or 4x in BB?

Let's say you play 6max 25nl Rush and a 100bb unknown opens in SB. What are the differences between him opening to 75c like usual, or him opening to 50c or $1. How are you adjusting your value call, value 3bet, and light 3bet ranges? Thanks, Yojimgari

I will call more if sb min raises and 3 bet more often when sb is raising bigger since there is more money to win by 3 betting a bigger raise and with smaller raise you have higher stack to pot ratio to play IP.

This is all assume SB is stealing light. If someone not out of line is raising then I would only defend with a legit hand.

Edit: I don't play rush, this is how I would react in normal 6 max

Playing RP when folded to in the SB, sometimes I accidentally min-raise (because I min-raise a good part of my range from other positions) so IMO if I'm BB I'd react to a min-raise and 3x the same as far as 3betting, but I'd obviously call with lighter hands against a min-raise.

As for 4x from the SB, I tend to 3B less and also fold more, I wonder if other people react the same? But nonetheless I still wouldn't raise 4x from the SB if people did fold more/3b less because in RP many people are folding there BB over 75% of the time so 3x works just fine imo.

I call more if he opens to 50c.

I 3bet to the same amount against any of these raise and id usually do it to $2.50.

Also the larger he opens and if he is cbetting big with a high frequency it becomes better to slowplay preflop or call with hands that can hit big postflop, because he is creating more dead money.
