villain had a 25% 3bet through 25 hands. Do you 4bet here and if so how much?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($101.50)
Hero (Button) ($98.15)
SB ($429.55)
BB ($143)
UTG ($100)
MP ($268.10)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2, 2
3 folds, Hero raises to $4, SB calls $3.50, BB raises to $18, Hero ????

that's a pretty hefty 4bet there Mr. Suspenders. Would you 4bet shove here?

Oh I missed crucial stack sizes. But I mean what size can you 4bet here without it being all-in. Really silly to 4bet any size less than an all-in.

But you are playing for stacks here with a hand like 22. With a hand like A4o we have blockers and less equity than 22 IIRC. But I mean I don't think we can really 4bet/fold much given stacks + pot.

so 100BB's deep this is either a shove or fold against a villain who has 3bet 25% of his hands over a short sample size?

Just out of curiosity what hands, if any, would you 4bet against the villain?

btw, I agree that A4s is a better hand than 22 here.

When he makes it 18 you cannot 4bet and fold b/c of pot-odds+your equity against his 5bet jamming range. This is why it's great to make it 3bbs on the button, more maneuverability pf and post-flop.

Actually I am not sure why I did that as I normally raise 3x from the BU and SB

its more important to raise 3x from the CO in addition to button more so than SB. 4xing the SB is fine.

As for the hand it's probably a thin shove. Not sure why we are looking for a new table. if hes 3betting 25%+ OOP vs our BU and CO opens we are going to get his monies.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

just a commentary on having an over-aggressive player on our left

(esp. if OP thinks we can 4bet/fold here....)

Not shoving here would just be silly. Why would you even raise the button with 22 with this clown in the blinds, unless you're going to 4-bet in his face? It's probably +EV to shove any two cards here.

Also, thanks big suspenders for laying the smack down with the maths.

This is what I wanted to confirm with my original post and although I didn't shove I did 4bet and villain folded.

Also a huge thanks the Mr. Suspenders for turning on that magic light for me related to the overall effect something as small as a 3xBB raise vs a 4xbb raise can have on something as simple as pre-flop betting.

Although I haven't done the math it seems like, in general, any 4bet would have to be a shove unless both hero and villain are fairly deep stacked.

I 3x from utg-bu currently unless there is a stationy donk at the table. I think 4xing early is fine/good at low-mid stakes. From sb i open 4x vs tough loose aggressive players and 3x vs others.

ridiculous question of the day: against someone who is going to 3bet like a monkey from the blinds would we rather minraise or limp the button with hands like 22-66?

Sorry to hijack a bit but this is something I've been thinking about.

Do you guys find that 4x from the sb vs agro players reduces their 3bet%? All I can think of would be negatives for 4xing it like bloating the pot oop give villain more money to win with 3 bet and making our 4 betting less profitable cause we commit ourselves much easier.

Fill me in on the pro's?

(This is when it's folded around to hero in the sb)
