THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY QUESTION

Raise >> Fold >> Call.

Yeah, coldcalling is terrible. What's the thoughts behind this? To take a flop for 12-15bb and checkfold it 2/3s? Raise it. Raise it. Raise it.

I played around with poker stove and calculated that if he is three betting with 6%+ of his hands a shove becomes profitable assuming he calls with QQ+/AK

Your standard 4-bet size.

my standard 4bet size is really small

i assume im calling a push then?

[Baracus]

Yes, it would be a horrible waste to 4-bet AKs and fold to a shove. Stuff like that is better done with Axo.

[BalugaWhale]

so whats the consesus, just shove?

[ogdundar]

Shove or fold, never call. What you do is dependent of the players.

With aggro players stick it in. If the openraiser is fairly tight (this means CO isnt just isolating a loose raiser), and the 3-bettor likewise, muck it faster than hell.

raise > fold > call for the reasons stated above

you keep asking how much you should raise, yet you've never told us the size of the initial raise or the size of the reraise. shoving is obviously a lot more reasonable if it's been 80 -> 280 than if it was 60 -> 180
