Re: why o why didnt I 4bet
 

I can see arguments for pushing flop or calling flop and re-evaluating on safe turn.
I would just push flop here most of time, you have outs/redraws if behind and an underepped hand.

Re: why o why didnt I 4bet
 

if you get it in on this flop, you are not going to be in great shape at all. i think this really depends on the villain's 3bet range. i will prob tilt shove the flop to curse my luck but i think it's super close vs good and tight opponent.

looking for some more comments

I think the best thing to do is call, but you can really do all three options here.

Re: why o why didnt I 4bet
 

A call is not a nice option here. He will almost certainly bet the turn again unless he is on a lower pocket pair like 88.
x He will bet as a semi-bluff
z He will bet to protect his hand with a worse hand than yours
x He will bet with a better hand to protect and cash in

In either case, whatever you do you will theoretically do the wrong thing against a large part of his hand distribution.

You have outs and you want to put the money in before the difficult situation. Stick it in!

I think a fold is better than a call because of the same type of reasoning.

The more I think about it, call is the worst option. I was just so split on shove/fold that I landed in the middle on 'call' although that's not really an acceptable middle for this hand.

Basically anything BUT calling is good here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Fold. I'd 4bet pf because when people squeeze and you shove/4bet they will stack off lighter than a non squeeze.

Re: why o why didnt I 4bet
 

if villains good this is a fold

Re: why o why didnt I 4bet
 

If he 3bets a lot this is easy.

If he doesn't, still hard to see him lay down KK or AQ or KQ or 99, so...
