What kinds of hands do you like to use as 4-bet bluffs in in different spots? What's your rational behind using them?
Rule of thumb is if you're OOP, go more linear (KQs, JJ/TT). IP will defend by mostly calling, so you need good equity when called. Of course it sucks to face a jam with KQs, but it's not something that should happen very often.
IP you want to polarize more (Q9s, ATo) because OOP will tend towards playing 4b or fold. So equity/playability isn't that important, and instead we try to avoid 4betting hands that suffer facing a jam.
