$2/$2 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
PokerRoom
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Profiles and Stacks:
Hero (UTG) ($469.00) 23.1/16.9/2.2 (65)
CO ($198.00) 30.4/13.0/2.8 (2626)
BTN ($192.00) 22.4/8.8/2.0 (125)
SB ($270.80) 35.2/8.0/3.7 (88)
BB ($320.70) 40.5/29.8/2.1 (131)

Pre-flop: ($4, 5 players) Hero is UTG T

Hero bets $8 ($461.00), 3 folds, BB bets $24 ($294.70), Hero bets $72 ($389.00), BB calls $54 ($240.70)

Flop: Q

($162, 2 players)
BB checks ($240.70), Hero ????? ($299.00)

Villain was 3-betting preflop very light. The guy seemed spewy and he would probably call the flop bet with any Ace.

What is our plan here and why?

not a big fan of the 4-bet even if he has been 3-betting much when he 3-bets your UTG-raise from BB.

I think you should bet/call ~125 on the flop, if he calls or shoves with an ace you often have 8 escape-outs.

you cant just check it now and would be a little commited if he pushed so hand plays itself after 4bet

even if you bet 120 you'd be offered 1:4 (25% to win) to make it neutral EV, and you have better chances to win:

its not a great flop, he dosent have AA or probably QQ here, and he has to fear you have hit top set. i think any bet over half the effective remaining stacks is fine, and obv call a shove. Bit undecided pre flop - i probably prefer a call, but cant fault the repot

I would guess it's a leak to not 4b here against a habitual 3-better FWIW.

while im not a massive fan of the 4 bet it has done 2 great things, 1. pretty obv he doesnt have AA 2. we have the initiative and looks like we have AA, this is of course presuming you havent 4 bet most of his 3 bets previously
