You're so deep. I might re-raise again and fold to a push

thats pretty poor...4-betting w. the intention of folding KK is not really great.

i would typically call here OP, but I don't think its too big of a deal.

Well these were the main questions that I needed to clarify.

1. Given my table image which is squeaky clean, what is his 4 betting range, given that he hasn't done it at all yet?
2. If I call, and the flop comes low, and he leads, what do I do to avoid RIO?
3. If I decide I like my hand, I am basically push or fold here right?
4. Do I want to commit 150bbs to a raise that will only fold worse and be called by better?

I got that far then timed out.


FWIW I just played exactly the same hand against him, he raises SB, I repop with AKo, he folds. Retrospective justification?

tbh when I folded I was like "meh, doesn't matter too much really." Glad you feel the same.

I also thought about this, whether a call or a fold is better preflop if you feel like you might be splitting.

These spots come up quite a bit and I've found a majority of the time I'm beat.

Here's the dealio, u got KK, u push and he's calling $60 with AK/QQ/JJ????????

[prodonkey]

I've done this a couple times lately and I've been looking at AA every time. I haven't seen a tag 4 bet without AA or KK in a long time.

Well obviously with money already in the pot, calling for a split is better than folding.

Yeah, your RR was too small, I think $7.50 or $8 is good here. As played, I call the 4-bet and try to get it all-in on the flop. I'm a pretty straight-forward TAG most of the time, and I've 4-bet QQ and AKs in these spots before, so folding here seems pretty weak.

1. AA-QQ, AKs? For some, this may only be AA or KK. I may also be biased from playing NL 100 lately, where the games are really aggro.

2. Shove flop. After that action, he never folds QQ there if he's invested that much.

3. No, if you shove PF here you only get called by AA or KK, the QQ and AKs will get away.

4. Absolutely not, which is why you call here and play poker on the flop.

your preflop raise to $6 sucks! make a real raise and probably get it all in.
