Villian is an extreme lag, 58/20 with an aggression factor of 4. This was not my first opportunity to 5-bet against him.

How often did he 4-bet as a bluff in the past?

[givememyleg]

I would have just called his re-raise rather than 3betting it.

None that I know of. I was 3-tabling, so I could have missed it easily. The only hands that beat me here are 44, KK, AA and AK. 44 is the only realisitc possibility I think because he wasn't playing anything slow before the flop.

either call and c/r all in (if you think ur good) or 3 bet and fold to anymore action beyond that. Its conceivable he has a set AK/A4 here.

A4s? K4s? at 10nl I wouldn't doubt it.

Theres no reason to threebet this flop, even against this player. You are way ahead or way behind, and there really aren't that many scare cards that can come.

The flop bet three bet is a play that should only be used to protect a vulnerable but strong hand from a draw, or to get a made hand paid that you don't want your opponent to see scare cards on later streets and get away from.

Your situation doesn't represent either of these scenarios, so you are basically making your villain (a horrible player) play more and more perfectly against you with each raise you put in.

[andy609]

Alright. Maybe I'm being results-oriented, but what ended up happening was that I ran out of time about a tenth of a second before clicking all-in. He had 43 offsuit.
