Another time he opened to $20 UTG on a 9-handed table with QJs, and after a caller and a shorty jams $55, he decides to 4bet to $120 instead of flatting or just jamming $300. So I assumed he was an aggro fish with a wide 4b range.
Passive fish ($120, MP) - Standard fish.
Hero ($500, HJ) - TAG image, bordering on the nitty side.
Villain opens $20
Passive fish calls $20
Hero 3bets to $80 with AQo
Villain 4bets to $180
Passive fish folds
Hero 5bet jams $326
Villain calls $326 with AA
The 3bet pre was mandatory against this particular player, but against the 4bet, I should be sigh folding, especially when he picks such a nutted sizing like this.
General rule for 1/3 crown, if you're in a spot where you feel like folding is too exploitable, just make the exploitable fold lol, everyone is underbluffing.
The ev you lose from making an "exploitable fold" is usually more than made up by the value you get from idiots calling.
When I first looked at pio solver and started learning about game theory I had this mentality that everyone was trying to exploit me because it was blatantly obvious that I was a nitty tag, eg "man I just got 3 bet! I have to call with 40% of my range here or else this old nit is printing money with his 3 bet!"
And I was also like "oh **** I flopped my weakest flush draw, I have to bluff this or else it's blatantly obvious that I'm an unbalanced nit!"
I know the Asian guy you're talking about haha (trendy haircut, glasses, headphones(although that describes a lot of people lol)), yeah he 4 bet with QJs but he obviously wanted to run out the board with all the dead money and his dominated hand that he went too deep with. He's never 4 betting light in usual spots.
Anyway I'll come say hi if I see you again, good luck with grinding. Just work hard, keep a decent sleep schedule, get out of the house, go into state library and study poker hands and spots if you have to for a change of scenery.
In your age and I'm aiming to play 2/5 in December
