BTN is 19/13, relatively tight opening BTN 40%, but the BB is a 60/40/21 nutcase 3b the BB 28% over a large enough sample.

Should I 4b here or just call? Should I 3b preflop the first time if I dont intend to 4b here?

fold, fold, BTN raises to $3.50, Hero calls $3, BB raises to $14, BTN calls $10.50, Hero?

You can 4b to 47, right? I like backraising then

If you want lesser variance, I think 3betting the first time around is going to cut the maniac out often, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

pot would be 56, which i assume means u would like it even more.

Do you think it is ok to go all in pre with this hand?
It is kinda dumb no ?
I mean you are dominated by aces and kings

We still have 33% against random AAxx, so if we 4b it's actually an easy 4b/call. Moreover, maniacs like this sometimes decide to 5bet random crap because they feel like gambling so we have a very +EV 4b/call.

No.
If BTN opens 40% OTB its a 3b PF for me. Especially if you suspect aggro-clown to 4b. BTN should fold most of the time and i get it all in against BB.

Maybe I am a very low variance type player but I do no like that play...
I should pbly learn to do it but I prefer to outplay my opponents post.
Do you think 4betting will put BTN out of the way?

flat with the intention of 4betting for value

+1 and now drop the hammer.

How have to consider position before asking that question. If BB is spewy and 4bs alot i 3bet and BTN should really fold alot if he doesnt want to go all in with his hand, and if our image is not spewy/bad he has to expect us 5betting in this spot.

call/4b makes BTN more inclined to call behind, i would like this hand to be HU rather than 3way. What do you think GGARJ ?

Bart, we have to have the BB 4b us, and though hes crazy he isnt gonna cold 4b that often, and often a back4b here will get him off some of the trashier hands he r/c with, even with him being OTB.

K, yeah I flat to 4b, worked out perfectly, he jammed w/ AAKJss, and I somehow got there.

You mean you flat to 3b ?

But yeah my assumption was if BB is spewy and 4b alot, otherwise i like your line of call/call closing the action preflop. seeing a cheap flop with a good hand.

in the post u quoted I meant get the BTN off of some of his trashier r/c hands, not the BB.

no, I flat to 4b. the BB 3b

even spewy he isnt gonna cold 4b me that much when i 3b, but he is gonna still call a bunch and the BTN will overcall 100%. He will sometimes 4b me obviously, but that range is much stronger
