    Don't open for 4bb's when villain to your left is 3b'ing 16%, christ! Opening for as small as other factors allow (no larger than 3bbs) is one option. Moving tables is another.

    As played, SB's flat really helps you out because CO is gonna play straight forward postflop with him in the pot. You are doing extremely well against both SB and CO, you have both relative and absolute position on the fish, and you're really not sure how your hand fairs once you 4b, so I MUCH prefer flatting, assuming we don't think that we're gonna be ass raped by CO postflop. I mean, getting it in is maybe better for balance because you should be 4b bluffing a fair amount in this spot, but I think it's a rare enough spot against a distinctive enough villain for you to keep track of your image and just play in-a-vacuum for every individual scenario.

    If you do 4b, for the love of fuck raise like a million times smaller. Okay, slight exaggeration but fuck, you have to go an amount that makes it look like it's possible for you to fold to a shove (though you obviously won't be with this specific hand). Maybe like $1.42.

    So you like to put 100bb in the middle calling a 5-bet allin with TT? You're a 40% dog to 99+, AK. I wouldn't be too happy with that.

    How much equity you have when it goes 4/bet-shove-call is only a part of the EV of 4-bet/calling. You get back 40% of a total pot of 200bb + the dead money which isn't too much of a loss. Then there are all the times they both fold and you win loads of money. It's easily going to be +EV.
