Villain is 41/18/2.7 over 445 hands. How'd you have played this hand based on the stack sizes and this particular villain.

IDK if I'm being results orientated because of his flop bet but I would be tempted to fold pf

[sc000t]

Once you take the flop, I don't think you can fold this. I'm guessing you ran into AA here tho.

[IsaacAsimov]

Given the stack sizes, would it be better to pitch this preflop against a reasonable raiser, due to the playability of the hand post flop? I think villain maybe intimidated by the stack sizes to make "loose" raises in this spot.

pf isnt good at all.

[GrandMelon]

Pf sucks. You cant really fold this flop after making that preflop call.

Shove, lose to AA.

[Rooky]

As with everyone else...easy fold preflop...

Ive found that the ranges of hands in which people 4 bet preflop at this level...is AA,KK...wait for better spot

Lets assume he doesnt have AA or KK... your still going to be an underdog to any pair...u cant be happy to put 30% of your stack in preflop as an underdog surely??? the only hands you could possibly hope for that u r in front of is AQ,AJ,AT..and if he is 4 betting with this range, then you will almost certainly have his money in a short period of time anyway.

[IsaacAsimov]

Yea, I agree PF was pretty bad, I think I fell into a standard line of calling AK to a raise in this spot.

[sdfsdf]

id fold pre, just because he's 41/18 doesnt mean he 4bets light

[Matt Flynn]

you either made a huge mistake calling the preflop reraise or you are positive EV checkraising all-in. most likely the former.
