4-betting ace-rag suited.

[Tumez]

Lately I have been thinking a lot about adding 4-betting with ace-rag suited my game. Is this the way to go? Or should we just 4-bet/fold with junk like 46s, and 4-bet call with AQ+ 99+ or W/E?

Villian is regular TAG, we have no remarkable history yet. When I 4-bet and villian shoves, I can't fold anymore right?

Game #6029615994: Hold'em NL ($5/$10) - 2007/10/25 - 10:24:35 (DST)

Table "SilvisIllinois" Seat 3 is the button.

Seat 1: rosapante ($1777.74 in chips)
Seat 2: Villian ($1467.75 in chips)
Seat 3: Hero ($1118 in chips)

rosapante: posts small blind $5
Villian: posts big blind $10

Calling the 5bet is wrong by a few percent it seems.

I think villian is shoving TT, and maybe AJs and 99. Could also shove some pp more because this is 3-handed.

Unless he is frequently shoving pairs worse than 99 or unpaired hands we're ahead of, it doesn't matter:

In other words, calling the 5bet gets to be almost break-even in the case that he is 3betting AND 5betting with 77+ AJ+ every time he is dealt one of the hands in this range. If we add in KQs it becomes very marginally profitable. In this case he's shoving over your 4bet so wide that theres almost no way it shows a profit as a bluff, however.

Your 4-bet size is absolutely atrocious. What reasons do you have for making it that amount?
