Is it not bad to just let the btn prevent us from isolating the fit/foldies wide?

Well it's obviously not a preflop attempt to take down the pot right there since you should assume getting multiple callers with stronger-than-average ranges, so it must be an attempt to build a bigger pot that you can take away from multiple callers with stronger-than-average ranges when they all miss.

Sounds like you got coached by a higher-stakes player for this spot. Why bother posting it in llsnl where most of the responses are going to be overlimp pre or fold to 3b?

That's one of the benefits of position. He has you at an inherent disadvantage. Sometimes, that means you need to iso less.

Flatting the 3b oop is the worst option. It leaves him totally in control of the hand.

His value 3b range is wider and should also include 22+ which we don't really block much of.

That being said I'm not a fan of 4b/f with yeah l trash.

I think we need to figure out which range he could 5bet jam that leaves us with >38% equity. I'm not a fan of 4bet/folding if he is capable of jamming hands like JTs. This is getting into the realm of online leveling which doesn't take place much live. I'm starting to believe that leveling is just a way you get yourself in trouble. Every time I think I am in a leveling war the guy just ends up having the premium hand I should have expected him to have. Interesting spot though.

You haven't 4bet him yet (presumably) so you can't be sure how he is going to respond. I like the 4bet in isolation but he could have just been clicking buttons with the 76s 3bet before.

And what do you mean incorrectly fold? Are you saying he should continue with his SC's to your 4bet with such shallow stacks?

Against somewhat balanced players you need a 4 bet/folding range. It would be a disaster to 4/bet fold AK or JJ, but A4s is the perfect type of hand to 4 bet/fold.

Except as played we didn't get to play against some fish. They swam away, and now we are OOP vs a PITA.

Well that was certainly guaranteed to happen. Might as well just fold everything cuz someone else wants to play the pokah

Grunch (of this question, not whole thread): "Dealer, can I have a seat change button, please?"

If your position is otherwise too valuable to give up, just let him have it most of the time that happens. There's too much value in donk stacking to get in to leveling wars OOP, imo.

Tight passive guys limp with hands like AJ IME, which makes raising preflop bad.

I don't think our read on this guy likely being FOS with this 3! is that great. We know he did one light 3!, that was 2 hours ago. No other 3bets at all? Sounds to me like one of those guys that gets bored and mixes it up but mostly plays pretty standard. I want more info before going for the 4 bet.

4 bet/fold is clearly better than flatting though. If he is FOS, and our image is such that he gives us credit for a hand here, he should fold pretty easy. I would make it $85, I think he folds as easy as he does for $95 and we save $10 when this fails.

I'm willing to take this as a leak. I have a range, but A4 doesn't come close.

What could be a better candidate to put into a 4b/f range then a hand like this?

Ace rag suited are great for 3-bet and 4-bet bluffing ranges, as are small pocket pairs and medium suited connectors.

Your line is fine. When you 4-bet here, you want to have one of the hands listed above around 50% of the time. If you are against someone with too strong of a 3-betting range pre, adjust that down. Against someone who folds to often to a 3-bet, adjust up.

I like how you played it and I like your sizing at 95 to get the desired fold. Since this is a fine limp behind hand, I'd also be tempted to l/rr this villain.

I'm also good with a seat change, depending on lineup.

Actually it was close to 100% predictable. Fish aren't going to call a 3! and get squeezed. If you want to 3 with this hand go ahead, but your first post said we want to play w fish w this hand. And our line here guaranteed that wouldn't happen.
