Question which was often asked : "Why would he do it with a value bet, obviously he woudl have tried to extract more - IT MAKES NO SENSE - CALL "

Better question to ask : "Why would he do it with a bluff ? Obviously he would bet much less with a bluff because its both a)cheaper b)looking more credible - EASY FOLD".

Question asked by Villain (probably) : "Why would he call a minraise with a big pair? - IT MAKES NO SENSE - 5BET"

Better question to ask "Why would regular 4bet me with anything less than big pair or AK there when it looks like obvious bs ? - EASY FOLD".

Regular or not, I can tell from his stats that he is not very good

Cool I like this. Hopefully I can add more hands tomorrow.

P.S. Why the call in hand 2?? Sb high pfr%?

Two guys behind - both love to squeeze so I am just fishing...

Nice one. Had you seen the other two players behind making squeeze plays, or were you just hoping?

I posted a hand similar to hand 1 preflop.

Everybody told me that 4-bet preflop was obvious, almost I was a noob to not do it, so I am confused here ...

[punter11235]

Problem in hand 1 was on the turn, not preflop.
Calling preflop with AK there is obviously ok though.
