Okay I had absolutely been hammering on this guy and I think he's starting to get a bit pissed. His fold to 3bet is about 71% overall, he's running 23/19 with a 43% ATS. I also have a really aggressive image, like 25/21ish, and my postflop image is probably getting out of line.

I recently just bluff raised him and got to showdown+sucked out (this is maybe the 3rd time I've raised his cbet this session)

So this hand comes up and of course I'm getting it in preflop. When the hand played out and he 4bet me, I'm guessing his range is polarized between stuff he's felting, and just random weak stuff he can't continue with. I think there's a decent chance he's bluffing a bit wider than normal now in this spot since this is the 3-4th time I've 3bet him this session when IP.

So I decide to get creative with my 5bet sizing....

The reason is he's going to continue with his continuing range he planned on anyway, however, I have a feeling he is on tilt right now, so I think making it small instead of a shove could POSSIBLY give him incentive to jam something really stupid that he planned on 4bet folding (like A2s for example).

Thoughts on this? Or are you guys just like w/e jam he's stacking light enough given the reads.

Do you really think any 23/19 would be stupid enough to think that you are folding anything ever? If anything this looks stronger than a shove.

I would probably just timebank/shove as that looks weaker than this imo

mmmhmmm.

Given the dynamic you described m2m, I'd shove this and expect to get looked up fairly wide. I would not expect him to shove over this light unless he's some bad spazzmonkey.
