Default Re: Heads up Cash vs. someone who basically only 3-bets from the BB

you don't do it every time, you only do it if you feel that your opponent is deviating too much from non-exploitable play.

Also, when i 4-bet in position, it's almost always a minraise (with or without a hand). This allows me the get away from the hand if he pushes, but still prevents him from just calling with speculative hands (no implied odds with 100BBs). Basically, it's a great way to leverage your stack. You're committing 25-30BBs whereas he's gotta commit 100 if he wants to continue.

...and yes, it works vs. good players.

Edit: check CTS's blog post on 3/4-betting ranges.
