CO: $48.00
Hero (BTN): $99.50
SB: $67.45
BB: $101.00

Pre Flop: Hero is BTN with Q

2 folds, CO raises to $4, Hero calls $4, 1 fold, BB raises to $16, CO calls $12, [color=red]Hero ??

The Co was unkown.

The BB was 24/20 or so with 3bet of 6% at the time, but only 40 hands.

How would you play this ?

Youre not thinking about a 4bet ? its a good spot for him although his squeeze is a little small..

yes and what do you do when you get jammed on

i assume you are 4b folding, ie turning your hand into a bluff, when you have absolute position with a good hand. what do you rep when you 4b here. your hand looks like AA or a bluff and will be shoved on by lots of hands.

call then re 4b is very bad here

i 3bet this pf most of the time
coming over the top w/ a 4bet is imo sprewy because you just turn you hand in a bluff... when you get action AQ won't be playing to good against villians range

Yeah you guys are totaly right, i see now a 4bet is a bit too enthusiastic and calling is ip issnt horrible at all. thanks

So if where calling pf, what would be youre plan in generall ?

when the flop comes do you just play straight forward ? looking for a A or Q and give up when missed ? do we always stack of if we hit a Q or A ?
