QQ in BB facing 4-bet. Fold or Felt?

[Wolfram]

This is always a troublesome spot for me.

Villain is 16.6/14.2/5.4 after 416 hands. I don't have specific notes on him. I have not been 3-betting him much this session.

Fold the first time, shove the second time.

Your 3-bet is too small.

I would have said $12, what are you thinking is right?

[Nielsio]

$12 is fine

14 is too high imo. You want someone to overplay AJ, A10, 8s, 9s etc and you are making it too easy for them to fold those hands.

[thac]

Yeah, 12 is fine, 14 is overkill.

Villain's steal % and your own steal defense is so important here.
