The Odds God
If he had a pair, he would check, right? I assume he has AQ here. Even if we are behind, I would treat it as a coin flip preflop. But we are ahead a lot of times to push here.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

I think your 3-bet size put you in this spot. I like $80 and $125-$150ish a lot better because they make this decision a lot easier.

1. So you really think facing any postflop decision is a mistake? I don't think anyone can really say "well i'd fourbet to 130 because we dont want him to lead the flop and force you off the hand."

2. Which do you think is a better size and why?
