baba, everything is situation oriented. I mean, If player X is squeezing Y% when you open and loose SB flats, you can figure out what he's doing it with for value (JJ/TT+ or AQ/AK, depending on the player), and then you can just figure out how often he has to fold when your hand (let's say AJ or 88) gets called (based on what equity you have when called, obviously).

I haven't done calcs like this very frequently, in fact I haven't hardly done them at all in my career, but I advocate most people do them.

IF you are going to flat a 3-bet, you are getting some sort of price depending on how this player will play postflop, but hands for doing it would include strong face card hands and strong suited connectors (suited broadways, basically). They would NOT include hands like 77, which do okay when all in preflop vs AQ/TT+ but do not do so hot after the flop because you will find yourself set mining too frequently.
