1/2 mixing it up

[saal13]

If his range is TT+, AQ+ and he pushes QQ+, AK+ then you expect him to push 55% of the time and fold 45%.

If he folds you gain ~$34.

If he pushes you can fold and loose an additional ~$82 or you can call. If you call I think you've got about 35% of the equity against his range.

I think this makes it an easy fold when he makes it $24.

as played, the hand looks spew.

once you do 4bet to 90 (a huge 4bet), though, yeah, i think you have to call the shove.

yeah 4 betting this is bad, becuase if he pushes then then you have to call cuz you put in half your stack preflop. (putting this much money in preflop and then folding is just bad poker). So in essence, your committing your entire stack to win ~17BBs. Just fold preflop.
