So does BBuddy.

Re: what is with this call from twin caracas?
 

he knows lyric knows he 3bets light and is capable of 4betting light to try and counter, so he knows his cards have to be live often. so the call isnt really that far from breakeven, and great for metagame since he can get lyric to go easier on the preflop 4bets in future by showing him he doesnt like being pushed around and is willing to gamble.

So he calls with 98o and thats supposed to make OP tighten up with the 4-bets?

Re: what is with this call from twin caracas?
 

it shows that he's willing to gamble. OP might not be comfortable doing that in big pots, so it could slow down his 4bets in that manner.

Re: what is with this call from twin caracas?
 

Lyric is properly rolled for these games so he I am sure he is comfortable playing big pots against loose callers, and its not like twin called the AI with a small pair or AJo, it was 98o.

This is actually a fair point.

When guys start calling huge bets pre flop allin with suited connecters, I usually will be forced to tighten up my reraising range. The last thing I want to do is put a hand like AQ allin against 54s.
