First orbit. Villain is unknown.
4betting pf gets too much respect without dynamics.
Which line is better ?

1. Minraise vs his cbet on most flops to get him spaz out.

Or

2. Call flop/shove turn to give him room to second barrell to get more value from his air.

I mean your options are just so general/board texture specific.
I would mix up 4betting with calling. You're range is going to be wider bc your on the BTN. You can't ever just say your going to minraise every flop or call/jam every turn.
If you 4bet, he hopefully spazzes with QQ-KK,AK.
SB is deep enoug to flat your 3bet with a big range of hands, so you cant just minraise every flop...its just so explitable.

depends how he reacts to small raises on the flop: wet or dry

or check thru really dry flops (248 etc)

theres way too much/too many flops to do post flop than to just say call-jam turn sooo generally

The first line would need dynamics to be profitable. He would have to suscpect that I was raising the flop light alot for this to be a good play. But with no dynamics the second line is better in a vacuum.

Ofc there is alot more playing on AA on various boards.
