    Also, please note his half-pot sizing on the turn and river. It's hard to really put him on a pair higher than your QQ. As I said earlier, it wouldn't be all to surprising if he held AJ or even a mid pocket pair.

    Given that, I like shoving this river given it's most likely impossible for him to fold {AJ, TT-77} with what he's left behind. Sure, you may see JJ+ some percentage of the time...but it's hella weird given his line.

    * - please don't take this to mean 3betting with AJ in the SB is never the correct play.
    This just feels like setting a buy in on fire - i just dont agree.

    he doesnt 3bet AJ from the SB at 4nl and then haf pot every street - thats a big pair in my experience

    Why don't you think he 3bets AJ from the SB? AJ looks sexy to recreational players.

    As for the big pair, I'm just not seeing him half-potting and not shoving his big pair. Does Cake have a 1/2 pot button by any chance?
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    Even if he can have AJ, there are still more combos of JJ+. He needs to be doing this with either AK or Jx sometimes as well for you to make that call down.
    And Even if AJ can be in his range, it's still weighted towards KK+

    At 4NL you never make too much of a mistake by folding, because a generic 4NL villain is extremely passive and you will not get exploited to the point of being unable to beat the stakes, even if you fold too much.

    I agree with Miffed. I would call the flop and fold to another barrel.
    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.
