    Default AQs 4 bet pot facing aggression

    Is shoving here standard? This match is maybe 10 hands in so I'm pretty readless. Villain got his stack with calling down bottom pair for 2 streets and me giving up the river.

    Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 2 Players

    BB: $79
    Hero (SB): $58.90

    Pre-Flop: Q A dealt to Hero (SB)
    Hero raises to $1.50, BB raises to $2.50, Hero raises to $9, BB calls $6.50

    Flop: ($18) K 8 A (2 Players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $14, BB raises to $28, Hero?

    Your almost never behind here and theres no draws that we're afraid of. If you were deeper I don't think shoving gets the most value vs most players. However with these stacks shoving it is the only reasonably play.

    Don't 4 bet AQ if you don't want to go with it when you flop top pair.

    You should have a clear plan when you decide to 4 bet. Either I have the best hand and I want to get the money in asap either preflop or on a ton of flops or I have a garbage hand like 56s and I'm bluffing because this guy is 3 betting too much and won't continue very often.

    either we're screwed or he has like 3 outs so I probably call and give him a chance to keep bluffing. I never ever fold here.
