4bet/fold?

[krafty]

Is it ok to 4bet loose 3bettors for value and then fold to a shove? ie. We're CO with AQ, button with 10% 3bet. Assuming 100bb stacks and no reads on 5bet shove range. Folding to the 3bet in these spots seems exploitable.

why can't you call the 3b if they are 3bing wide?

why can't you call the 3b if they are 3bing wide?

this involves hand reading and such postflopaments u kno?

[krafty]

So calling in these spots is best? If I were IP i'd call for sure but being OOP post flop feels akward cos' I gotta c/f so many flops.

Uhh. The question wasn't about one hand, more like general guideline.

I find myself often in this situation. I've been 3bet and I'm OOP and I have only a slightly better hand than his 3bet range (I think AQ vs 10% range is a good example).

Folding seems weak since we beat his range. 4bet/fold seems bad since he can easily play almost perfectly against it like shipping with AA/KK/QQ and folding the rest. 4bet/ship seems bad for the same reason. Calling feels akward since we're OOP.

I guess I'll just start calling and 4bet with polarized range.

Starting playing again sure is hard...

I'm not really sure if i agree with this. I was kinda asking like how much information do we have on him because he might not be 3betting the top 10% of his range

It depends a lot on your 4-bet sizing.. if you 4-bet bigger, say like to 35-37bbs, you will only need like 31% equity to call a shove. If you 4-bet smaller to 27ish bbs you would need like 36%ish equity to call. Its been awhile since I figured those numbers but those are the ones that stick in my head. I almost always 4-bet on the small side.. it definitely gives you a lot more flexibility on making decisions.

I do know that 4-betting any good ace and folding is pretty dang bad against all but the biggest nits.

Here is a hand I played today against a reg who was 3-betting vs steal something like 15% and 4-betting like 6%. He is very exploitable but man can sitting to his right lead to high variance. I would recommend never having a guy like this within 4 seats of your left... I need to work on my table selection

And just for info sake, if a guy is 5-betting 4% (you will see higher than this), here is a stove for AQ, which seems right on the border. If someone is 5-betting 5% or higher AQ and pretty much any premium ace is an easy call.

Luckily, I play FR and don't have to worry bout this stuff as much.

God that stack off is horrible outlaw, also if your OOP just fold or 4b small(some villains suck and will NEVER flat 4bs no matter how small you make it) If you 4b fairly large ofcourse u have to stack off w/ AQ.
IP just flat and play poker. Actually IP flat everything what you continue you with unless villain is a complete spazz case. Creating 4b dynamics is pretty worthless unless your playing with people a fucking shitload and you'll be a better player for learning how to play postflop in 3b pots. However if they are ACTUALLY a loose 3ber (say 12% OTB) you can definately flat AQ/KQ OOP. 10% isn't "that" loose OTB and you are better off just turning your hand into a bluff if you can't quite deal with playing OOP. Oh also just because you don't put the last bet in pre-flop doesn't mean you can't have a leading range, experiment you'll become a better player for it.

I have 4k hands on villain. My stackoff there was standard as I was ahead of his 5-bet range vs. me.
