villain is running 48/38. with a 16.7% 3 bet. over 40 hands

I chose to 4 bet this hand since he has a v high 3b% hoping he will just fold or call with his trash. what range do we put him on when he 5 bets this size? should i have just flat the 3 bet?

i searched him and he was 1 tabling so likely a rec player.

Prob either flat the 3 bet in position or shove over his 5 bet

why are we playing for stacks with A9 50bb deep when we could see a cheap flop and play from there?

yea 4b/f seems silly, and if we flat somewhere it should be vs the 3b.

villain is running 48/38. with a 16.7% 3 bet.

meh I might just fold to the 3bet. Against some I just float a cbet and take it away on the turn, however he looks like an aggro fish and aggro fish don't stop betting and b/c really wide so I wouldnt want to bluff shove over him much either. Give me a hand like QJs to flat with instead.

why fold to his 3b when he has a v high 3b %? i dont get the logic

because A9o flops very poorly and we end up with middle pair and a vulnerable ace a lot.

i flat 3bet/fold flop and take this guy to the cashier when i have a hand

we have a hand. i'm endorsing a 6b shove pre with A9o, what a world

people who are suggesting 4-betting pre, what % of the time do you think villain is folding? We have like, 42% equity against a 17% range, which does not suggest playing for stacks to me unless we think he's folding a lot. Are you super excited to play for stacks with A9o against a tight Hijack open? I would generally turn it into a bluff, but only against someone I thought was folding a decent amount.

If we knew villain slowplayed strong hands or was prone to 3b/folding or something stupid like that, then I'm way happier about getting very aggressive, but we don't know that from the OP. Also we're at a stack depth where when we're wrong, it hurts pretty badly (I'm much happier snapping 30bb in if I think I have FE, obviously)

not sure how accurate his 3b % is, i.e. that is 1/6 hands or 2/12 not a big enough sample to go assuming he is 3b rampant.

given the positional dynamics, I dont think we can let this go here. i like a smaller 4b and a fold to 5b
Although I also think we can flat the 3b and float a lot of flop textures

Of all the options, I wouldn't pick 4-bt/flat with a hand that doesn't play well postflop. Also, i would think a 1-tabler may not be 5-betting light.

Colorful pattern of replies.
Please correct if I`m wrong:

Good hand to 4b/f.
Jamming A9 over 5bet with these stacks is bad. Yes he`s 3betting wide with that positions which is std, but why do you he`s 5betting wide?

Flatting 5bet is very bad.

agree with both parts of this. folding, flatting the 3b, 6b shoving, 4b/f all better than calling the 5bet and not sure you have reads to 6bet shove 50bbs profitably

yeah i played this hand v bad, 4b/f is the best play.
