Default Still haven\'t grasped this

Villain is a 2+2er or a solid NL 200 grinder. He is a thinking player and his 3 bet range has been confirmed and is not subject just to JJ+,AK. There has been some history and probably over 2k hands played against each other.

Effective stacks are $200.

Case 1: Folds to you on the button, you have AKo, you raise to $8, SB folds, BB raises to $28?

Is it okay to just push here?

Case 2: Folds to you in the SB. you have two Jacks. Same $200 effective stacks. You raise to $8, BB raises to $28, you?

Case 3: Folds to you in the CO. You have two Queens. Same $200 effective stacks. You raise to $8, 2+2 Button raises to $28, folds back to you and you?

In all three cases this isn't the initial 3 bet by the 2+2er.

Trying to find out if any of these potential pushes classify as "spew"

Interested to hear thoughts.

I don't get why you would shove instead of making a smaller 4-bet

So we are just raising it to $65 and doing what to pushes?

I see that if I make that play a lot of the time that people aren't folding AK, which we are tied with in one hand and technically ahead of slightly in the other two.

As far as my opinion I kind of favor a jam in all 3 cases. I see that I get called by AQ,JJ-99 a lot in all 3 cases.

In case 1 I am usually at worse a flip from an aggressive player and sometimes I have the dominated hand or get somebody to muck JJ.

Also I occasionaly jam AA or KK in this scenario so they might be hesistant to call with JJ.

As far as the other two I am obviously killed by AA/KK but I feel like I get called by more than just those two hands

In all 3 cases I like to 4 bet small and call a shove.

In case 1, Though you are in position, you aren't going to be hitting the flop enough to be able to continue the hand if you just flat call the 3 bet.

Case 2 and 3, you are out of position and villain is wielding his position well, so 4 bet small and call a shove.

The trouble I have with jamming is it willingly forfeits our sweet positional advantage when holding premium hands against a tough aggressive opponent.

Edit: nm i misread

no one folds AK preflop

4betting less than AI allows us to bluff cheaper or get a ton of money in good preflop with big pairs. Doing it with AK is part balancing and part equity based, especially i villain can shove a worse Ax over a 4bet.

FWIW i would 4bet AK and call the other 2 to start with

I hate these fuc*ing spots !

H1 : I 4 bets, then call a push, of course.
H2 : I call and raise a lot of flops. I am in the dark on 1/2 of the flops [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
H3 : call or 4 bets are fine. Of course, never fold.

case 1: absolutely. as is calling with position.

case 2: great time to play post flop

case 3: a case can be made for shoving, but i really just like calling and turning QQ/JJ into a bluff catcher/smaller hand catcher
