Given that 4-betting isn't a cap, I like it much better, but I've never played in Vegas so I don't know what 4-bets are usually taken for.

Given how you played it I wouldn't 3bet the flop. Seems like an easy turn checkraise.

Thats why I posted that I had a "premature ejaculation" [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Considering how tight I play, most players who have played with me know that chances are I hold Aces or Kings.

Even so, I think not 4-betting gives up a lot, especially if UTG+1 might 5-bet.

In that case, I think a "premature ejactulation" would be warrented and would just become an ejactulation.

In the heat of battle a man finds out a lot about himself.

well then it might be to your advantage to loosen up pf in spot or two. it's not like opponents need to see you 4 betting 45s or something. just raise or 3bet a bit more and when you do 4 bet or 5 bet, it doesn't put them "on guard" so quickly because they've seen you up the stakes in pf situations before.

Something I continually attempt to work towards.

Victor,

You have not read this post before. It has been about 3 years since I have had anything to post in this forum.

A little off topic but this brings up a good point. I don't have to 4bet a lot to get no respect for my 4bets. In other words, I do so much 3 betting, that when I 4 bet no one puts me on a tight range, even though that's exactly what I have.

So basically I don't think you ever have to loosen up your 4 betting range to get action with your big hands, just your 3 betting range, and even just your open raising range.
