Preflop check up - 400NL

400NL Party

Hand converter ain't working for me.....
Stacks 400

Folded to me on button

I make it 14 with Ac7c
Bad fish(40/18) calls in SB
Good regular makes it $55 from BB

we have pretty similar stats (25/19) - he is better than me - we have 3 bet each other lots in the past but not today. I can't recall any 4 bet scenarios


I make it $165 (ok size?)
Fish folds
Villain pushes

I do the old fold & reload

Standard?????

[oyvindgee]

Not standard, but nothing wrong with it.

[Matress]

My opening range OTB is huge obviously - Villain knows this - and once the SB fish calls then VIllains Squeezing range should be huge..

Was $165 a little too big?

[Mat]

Yes, the size is too big because it commits you to the pot :

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 29.813% 28.36% 01.46% 21850080 1122316.50 { Ac7c }
Hand 1: 70.187% 68.73% 01.46% 52958967 1122316.50 { JJ+, AQs+, AQo+ }

If you think his pushing range is tighter, the fold is marginally better though.

Ace-weak are the worst hand to 4-bet with, I would have just let it go.

[Matress]

why is AX worst hand to 4bet with?
your ranges are about right...

yea just fold

[DonkBluffer]

If you're 4bet bluffing, why are weak aces bad? They make AA, AK and AQ less likely for our opponent, and as long as we plan on folding to an all-in anyway it doens't matter how good our hand is other than that.

I'd make the 4bet smaller though.
