Yeah, he 3B with some garbage, and his stack got chopped in half.
So...it was DOUBLE the size. Now it's HALF the size.
What part of "we're not deep enough" doesn't make sense to you guys?
Did we forget about the CO, the original raiser, who has $400 in his stack, and position on us? Didn't OP tell us this kid has been getting steam-rolled by the BTN in previous hands? Is it impossible this kid might be tired of the BTN's shlt, and he might have picked up a hand he's hoping someone will 3B?
We're going to FOUR BET a pair of tens here, for VALUE, against a passive opener who's been getting pushed around all night, and a short-stacked 3B'er???
What's our planned 4B size here, over the $35 3B? It seems pointless to 4B less than the $140 the BTN has in front of him. Despite what you apparently think, a small 4B at 1/2/3 doesn't look stronger, especially not from the blinds. It looks fishy AF, and is likely to induce the CO to 5B jam on us, forcing us to fold.
A 4B of any size here is just torching money, unless they both fold, which doesn't seem likely, unless we put the BTN all in by going to $140. Best case, they both fold. Possibly, BTN snaps us off and we double him up. Worst case, the CO jams, the BTN calls, and we...fold? Call and pray we spike a T?
But, hey, we're here to gamble. So good luck with the 4B. Let us know how it works out.
