    Default I'm pretty sure this is retarded...

    I don't have many hands with this guy, but i've noticed he's been pretty loose and his standard raises are small. I've never seen him reraise. The more i think about this hand the more retarded i feel.

    A 1 being painfully standard and a 10 being painfully donkish, this rates about a 6. Don't worry about it.

    just fold when he puts in another raise without having a nice read. he probably doesnt have any motivation for 4betting light so he should have a strong hand here.

    Downswinging holla!
    Reraise more preflop, without a good read or any history fold to the 4 bet.

    That player (jackblack477) is a bit of a donkey, but when he starts making aggressive moves at a big pot, I've never seen him not have a hand. I think your push is pretty bad.

    massimo,

    Raise to 12-13 preflop first time and probably fold to any 4-bet.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    This is a standard play for me when I'm on tilt and unfortunately, I run into the dreaded KK/AA a lot. Luckily I'm good at spiking aces against KK so it hasn't cost me a whole lot.

    In all seriousness though, I would just fold to the 3rd raise here. If you are playing a very agressive short-handed game where there is a ton of light 3-betting going on (and as a result, a decent amount of 4-betting as well), I'd love it.
