The first range image is the range of hands I will look to use to 3bet with.  It doesn't mean I'll always 3bet those hands. So I will 3bet with suited aces if I get a suitable spot to do so but often I may just call.
2nd image is the range of hands I will usually just call. I wouldn't for example usually 3bet 97s this is a hand I'd either flat or fold.
The 3rd image from HM2 is the hands I did actually 3bet from the big blind position and the winrate associated with those hand groupings.
The 4th image is the hands I actually did just cold call with and the win rates.

John and I were looking at the ranges on Doug Polk's new training site and Polk  was suggesting 3betting a polarised range from the BB which includes small suited hands like 42s and 53s. I don't agree with using those hands for 3betting light as if you get called by say a mid pair you have very little equity compared to having used a hand like A6 which will always have at least 30% chance of out-running a pair.

You can see in the hands used to 3bet I only 3bet suited connectors on 3 occasions. But also I'm performing poorly with my suited aces both when 3betting and calling with them so I need to consider how I'm playing them generally and whether or not I should fold these hands a little more.
