[5NL] KQo, IP, standard spot?

I'm of the opinion that you can probably call here profitably. You'll probably learn a lot here if you break down your range in terms of what you would 4-bet for value, what you would call and what you would 4-bet as a bluff.

I haven't really given a lot of thought to my 4bet ranges, it's probably something I should start working on.

Just as a quick point, should I be 4bet bluffing a 36/29?

A 36/29 isn't really important I don't think.

Look at what he 3bets with (12% is pretty high), does his 3bet sizing differ (if so any patterns?) how often does he fold to 4bets? Does he always stack off to 4bets?

He may be ahead, but he must have more to his 3bet range than QQ+, AQ+.

Only playing back premium hands against someone who 3bets a lot just allows them to get out of the way when you do play back unless they have a monster themselves.

I know that but I don't think a 12% 3bet is truly reliable through only 58 hands. I know we should 4bet bluff to exploit villain's with a high 3bet %, I suppose I just didn't know whether the 3bet stat become relevant through this small a sample size.

It's not a good idea to bluff someone because they bet too much.
