If he’s three betting and calling big 4 bets preflop with hands that constitute a draw on this board, then
1) he’s gonna have a lot more marginal made hands on this texture, like 77, TT, 87s
2) he’s going to have a lot more 9x hands
If he has draws here, he also has all the nutted combos that we don’t have.
The reason he cites QQ is simple: we want a strategy that maximizes the mistakes he makes with the middle of his range. If he has AKo on the turn, he’s folding to any reasonable bet. If he has slowplayed KK+, he’s getting his stack in no matter what we do. How he plays TT-QQ when we 4 bet bb here (versus how we play TT-QQ v his strategy) is where all the money gets made in this scenario. And OP has said nothing significant here on whether or not he makes exploitative calls or folds in this spot.
Also, when we have QQ, we don’t want to be picking a strategy where we can’t put the $ in ourselves on this board. By going small small small, we increase our value range to 18 combos, which is a hell of a lot easier to balance.
