Preflop: 4-bet vs smooth call
My typical line preflop has been to smooth-call a 3-bet with QQ+/AK, looking to keep from losing value against JJ/TT/99/misc. I adjust this against laggy players to 4-bet with the normal calling hands and smooth call with the 99-JJ range. So far, one of two results has been prevalent: I get all the money in behind postflop when the board looks safe, but lose (typically the same result as would happen if I 4-bet) or I end up getting folds/taking down a smaller pot than I'd like.
I still think that against most tight players, smooth calling with QQ/AK is likely to hold more value. I'm starting to think that reraising with AA/KK is better, however, since they aren't 3-betting light enough to get away. Thoughts?
I'd love answers for both when you have a TAG image and when you have a LAG image.
