    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    i fold. raising you 30 more with 150ish behind is GENERALLY indicative that hes comfortable playing a flop out of position and is not concerned with aligning stacks so that he has an easy play with AK on almost all flops.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Makes sense.
    I can't discount AK at least from an unknown villians 4bet range & his 4bet size is so small < 2.5x 3bet with 6$ from CO in pot to that its a break even play with implied odds to set hunt on flop. (You have to call 30 to win +- 230, 7.5-1)

    Then if an A or K doesnt flop you're almost 50/50 vs his range & with the money in the pot its an easy flop call.
    (I wouldnt shove a non-AK flop because you're either way ahead (of AK)
    or way behind (AA/KK) so if he's only drawing to 6outs you'd want to give him a chance to make a mistake & shove turn.)

    - Also you'll still suck-out 8% if the time from flop-river & he could of thought you were 3betting light as CO has fairly wide range so his 4bet could be weaker than the range we've assigned a small% of the time
    which would lead me to call and take above line even more.
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

    Emphasis mine

    What in the world does aligning stacks mean, and how is it achieved? What does it do?
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    making a certain bet size so the hand plays easeir post flop. eg. being able to get it in without overbetting the flop etc.
    Flopping quads and boats like its my job
