2/4 JJ 4ways

[bspahn]

during the hand i THOUGHT about betting 120 ish - this puts close to half my stack in there - are you still bet/folding though or do you think enough combo draws get it in here ... or shall i assume because its 3ways my opponents will play generally straightforward?

--> reason for 'weird' pot controling in these two spots? i'm a pussy and playing scared money at 2/4 and shouldn't have even tried with only a 15k BR ... so i'm gonna stop

am I missing something.... or isn't this almost 40 buyins??

I'd say thats well enough. Agree with JL.. just drop down when you feel like you need it.

losing my confidence instantly when trying to play 2/4 isnt worth trying to stick to it. i like the plan of a couple 2/4 tables and the rest 1/2 though.

i suppose another big part is not willing to get my stack in for a lot of spots. basically i went from playing 20/17 at 1/2 to playing 15/12 at 2/4 and folding AK all the time preflop to action (say i 3bet and someone cold 4bets, or i 3bet against UTG with AK and they 4bet)

i think i give way too much credit to peoples ranges and bets because ive played SO much at 1/2 and disregard the fact that 2/4 is probably by far the most hyper-aggressive level on the internet.

or i 3bet against UTG with AK and they 4bet

I feel like people are 4bet bluffing from UTG more often than they will be calling OOP to a 3bet. Given that assumption, I think 3bet folding AK is even worse.

Just flat if you don't know what to do to a 4bet.

-> he had position against me, i believe i squeezed AK against his UTG raise and a middle caller. I agree if i'm gonna fold i shouldn't ever 3bet in that spot.
