imo he's 3betting her about 20-30%
Uh, what is all this? First off, regardless of whether we can call against a 5-bet or not (and I'm leaning towards no with the stack sizes since the small amount remaining on the flop will lead to reverse implied odds), the fact of the matter is that if it's a close decision between calling and folding, then we've completely wasted the value of the hand including the $281 we've already put in.
And then you're saying if we don't 4-bet this, we don't have a 4-betting range? Uh, WTF? AQT9ds isn't even close to one of the first hands we'd put in to balance our AAxx. We've got good double pairs, double-suited one gappers, single suited rundowns, even QQJT type stuff would all play better here for a 4-bet than AQT9ds. All we're saying is that you don't need a 10% 4-bet range OOP when a 5-bet is going to get over half the effective stacks in which should be pretty self-evident if you think about it.
