yes, i think this is fine. his PF 4-betting range (assuming you've been 3betting him fairly regularly is probably something like TT+, AQs+, and some air that he'll fold. given this, i think a push is in order.

[strde635]

im starting to think people here advocate bad plays as if they were good so that fish who come here to play learn bad moves. now thats dirty.

I'd raise preflop to about $21. Once SB puts in the third raise to $99, you might want to slow down a bit. I doubt he's folding anything at this point, so your re-raise all in is too much like gambling 50/50, if that.

I'd say once SB makes it $99 - just call at that point, and use your positional advantage to outplay on the flop.

Calling the 4-bet is pretty bad. Its a push or fold sitaution imo.

[SunyD]

Now that I think about it, calling the 4-bet is actually a mistake. Sorry for the bad advice...

SB is just showing an extreme amount of strength. I dont like getting my stack all-in preflop with AKo, after 4 bets, when I'm fairly sure SB is going to call. Without any reads, I'd probably fold.

your first raise is too big.

[cbboy]

Raise less PF. $21 - $25 seems best imo.

[The Good]

As metioned your first raise is to big, about $24 would be sufficent.

Your 5-bet all in seems fine to me if sb is aggresive and maybe even would 4-bet as a bluff, and also if he would play back at you and be willing to get it in with a wider range then QQ-AA and AK. According to your history it seems that this could be the case. I would instafold to an unkown or tight/solid player though.
