Ok yeah I think I get you now.

I think the difference is that with 4bet or fold OOP vs a 3bet strategies, we're actually making the hand a lot easier to play if we have JJ or something and we're never making a huge mistake as long as the 3bettor isn't like 12/8 or something.

If we call pf in the blinds with 88 and c/r a J46fd flop because we don't want to play guessing games by c/cing, we actually dump ourselves in a ton of guessing games because we're not sure of our equity when he reraises us or how to continue when he calls our raise. Both situations are a little nasty. So really we're making the hand harder to play.

Thats my initial thoughts.
