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.

Your math seems wrong.

If you pot it from the button, that's 3 BBs. If he repots from the BB, that's up to 9 BBs. Now, if you re-minraise, that's 15 BBs total, and 6 more to him.

I personally would never fold for another 6 BBs. Are there villains who do?

Are you mainly concerned with people who overpot from the BB, might make it 11-12? Still, even if he's overpotting to 12, that would make it 3 -> 12 -> 21, not 25/30.
