5/10: top pair 4bet pot deep

[pocketfours]

ISF check your forum settings. Ben are you going three streets value here?

Feels to me like betting the flop could make our life very difficult in several scenarios and it might not allow us to win the pot when we have the best hand. We might also lose a whole lot more than we need to when we are beat.

Alexos about the 4bet I feel like we definitely want to give him a noncommitting 5 bet option. I also don't want to force him to 5bet or fold. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Its only slightly more, and why do you want to give him to option to 5bet bluff here? I'd actually think of making it closer to 300 to *not* give him to option to 5bet bluff (unless he wants to shove, which would be a horrendous bluff) when I have K8 here. It's not like we want to shipit over his 5bet anyways, do we?

If we had AA then I agree to manipulate our bet sizing/stacks in order to have him do something dumb. The difference in the sizing are pretty small and unless you play a lot of hands vs this guy he'll never read into it anyways.

Also we'd have him call a bigger bet OOP and if he's the type to call them he'll have to c/f lots of flops and we win more manies.

Does my logic make sense?
