I got a preflop question.

If you reraise, does that cap action or can villian reraise you?

I would easily cap against anyone but the very tightest. I would not cold call given your situation that no one else is coming a long.

Postflop, I don't go very far if he shows aggression.

I cap here since the TAG could have a very large range, and we probably have a better hand than he and position to boot.

I don't like calling 3 cold here. I would either cap or fold. Let the TAG know you've got a good hand and are showdown bound (not that you have to be, but it will probably get him to C/F flops that he misses if you make him be OOP against a PF capper.)

I like 4-betting a lot, but I think cold calling is superior to folding.

As it turned out, the threebettor had a worse ace than I did, and I thought that in this case I let one SB get away by not fourbetting preflop.

I think that in the case that I was behind preflop, I might have saved myself a bet later, so that fourbetting preflop might not cost me anything when I was behind, but when I was ahead, I probably win an extra small bet.

At the time this happened, I wasn't prepared for the situation that occurred. From my experience, I thought that the threebettor would have a pretty tight range to threebet at UTG+1, but I also realized that his range would probably get a lot wider in the allin-isolation mode.

I froze, and didn't make the right play. That's why it pays to think about these things offline, so you can recognize the situation, and make the right play without hesitation.

[Hobbs.]

my general approach to poker, when in doubt don't fold.

[Dhani]

With position , I say cold call and see how 3 bettor wants to play it. If you catch the Q on a relatively safe board then you can raise/bet depending on what he does, and if you catch a big draw then you can milk out some more.
I think if you make it 4 bets preflop and miss then you lose a little table image.

[Dhani]

Yes his range is wider in an isolation play, but the variance could be wider too, because it's difficult to put him on a hand.

[PokerBob]

if you're going to continue, you must 4bet.
