I'm sure this has been covered somewhere on here before,
but when we 3 bet an average villian with 10.10+, AQ+ & they 4 bet...
What do we call, fold or raise with generally & does your position post flop play a factor?
(assuming we are new to the table and no reads.)
Fold unless you have AA-KK, AK (if your site in general is aggressive enough). For me it's just AA-KK.Quote:

yea i 3bet AK from the SB the other day and was 4bet from the button (18/12 type). It seemed like a nitty fold b/c I can see him 4betting JJ/QQ there.
Its very rarely QQ and pretty much never JJ
But hell I would 4bet JJ from the button if the SB 3bet me.
How wrong is that? God just typing it makes it seem bad
Cool thanks.
I'm pretty sure this line of thinking is my biggest leak at small stakesQuote:

Why would you 4-bet JJ from the BTN when you have position on him and he's 3-betting a wide-range? You're blowing him out of all worse hands and letting him off easy.Quote:

If you flat call, he's for sure gonna cont bet with all low-mid pairs that you're ahead of.
I like having the initiatve plus the fact that I am still not totally comfortable playing postflop NL with full to deep stacks.Quote:

Once you 4-bet it preflop you're basically committing yourself so you're gonna have to call a push. So why not call the 3-bet in position and get it in on a board you like?Quote:
