If our 4 bet get hands like AK and JJ to fold, isnt that a huge argument for just having a 3 bet flatting range and eliminate our 4 bet range? Or should we look for blocker combos to potenially 4 bet bluff to exploit peoples ability to make huge folds?
It depends on how deep the stacks are. If we're like 300 BBs deep, then we've got to 4-bet our aces. If someone's got less than 100 BBs, I like just flatting with aces. I actually can't remember a single hand in the last six months where there was a 4-bet and call pre-flop. Usually, the money just goes in pre.
4 bet bluffs should be non-existent in $1/2 games unless it's against a very specific V who we've got a great read on.
On a semi-related note......I saw a woman slow play aces four times yesterday and she cleaned up. She won a $200+ pot every hand. Making me re-think the "never slow play aces" maxim.
