How is this?
I forgot to click start in PT, so not stats.
I sharkscoped him before acting and he was pretty much BE after 3000 games.

i just call too preflop

You either need to call or shove over his initial raise, depending on the player and situation I'll do both. Generally if I'm a bit short I'll shove, and if I have a decent stack I'll call.

I agree with what other posters have said. Call, at this level, with your stack. See a flop and play some poker.

As played, once you 3-bet, you have to call his 4-bet.

Committing your whole stack preflop, with an unmade hand, in the early stages, seems unnecessary.

[eurythmech]

Stop with the "unmade hand" thingie already, it's two cards that have an equity against a range, just like any other two cards.

[pdiggz]

Going broke in this spot, this early is not wise. You disagree?

[eurythmech]

Going broke is never good.

Hero played the hand with positive expectation. You disagree?
