6max 100NL hand on Bovada. Everybody on the table is a reg, and squeezes have been very frequent.

SB ($147)
BB ($100)
UTG ($99.50)
UTG+1, Hero ($91.90)
CO ($135.75)
BTN ($305.99)

Preflop
UTG folds, Hero raises to $3.00, CO folds, BTN calls $3.00, SB folds, BB raises to $13.00, Hero raises to $23.00, BTN calls, BB calls.

Flop Jd 3d Ac
Hero bets $25.00, BTN folds, BB raises to $77.00 and is all-in, Hero calls.

Turn Qs
Two players are all-in.

River 9d
Two players are all-in.

Is the click-back 4-bet preflop good or should I just 4-bet jam? What else should I do against the squeeze?

reads about the BB ?

its hard to tell which action is best, when there is no info about how much he squeezes, how he reacts to a 4bet, how he plays postflop if you call the squeeze, etc.

I didn't have any super-clear reads about BB except that he seemed to be a reg at 100NL, who had squeezed a couple times in the ~100 hands in that session.

Appreciate it's hard to form reads on bovada but if you have an inkling guys are squeezing light i'd prefer calling pre. Position, we can still be uncapped, dominates a lot of the hands people choose to light 3bet with and doesn't open us up to the 5bet possibility, which i mean you'd probably have to fold AQo to.

Also game select better if everyone is a reg.

Did you min4bet? I'm confused as to why you would chose that sizing?

Yes. What is going on with this?

I was a little bit short (~90bb), but I agree that my sizing probably wasn't optimal. What size was better?

I guess more generally, my question is, what range should we be 4-betting to what size? Should we have several 4-bet sizes, i.e., jam with AK to maximize fold equity and 4-bet smaller with AA? And should we 4-bet AQo or just call?

BonitaMadras' post has a lot of good information to consider imho and some of it should be applied to when to 4bet, what range to 4bet, and what sizing to 4bet.

I think I like a jam if IM 4 betting, calling seems good too given the table dynamics. Your min 4 bet allows the 3 bettor to call for a flop a lot easier then just folding.

What are you hoping to accomplish with a min4bet?
