Default Re: Full Tilt $163, 4-bet semibluff vs. Bartley

While many players don't understand potodds, I still think that gambleAB isn't capable of making this play with an extremely wide range. Shane will be shoving on his 3-bet relatively frequently, and if confite shoves, he is getting good enough odds that he has to call. If both people were like 20k deep and he 3-bet to like 6k, a 4bet here would be more tempting.

But in reality, against any realistic range, he has to call this shove relatively wide just because of the odds he is given. I think plays like this are under-rated, and people need to use them more often, I just think that unless AB is 3betting a huge range(like all pairs etc), this can't be profitable.
