If you really hate shoving flops and don't want to 4-bet, then the only choice left is to flat call your whole range of non-folding hands (including pairs, drawy hands and high non-pairs) and flat calling your non folding hands on the flop also so that your whole range is still possible on the turn. And then when he checks turn, you have to still balance bluffs for when to shove or not when he checks otherwise you are easy to read. You need strong hands here as well as some semi-bluff hands. This is a good strategy, but hard to execute due to it being much more complicated to execute. If you do this and just add in a crapload of mediocre hands like KQ/KJ/AT then you hands are unbalanced and he can profitably shove turn a lot more. You also have to shove turn when he checks a percent with draws that missed. And if you check behind on turn it can't mean that you have a mediocre hand cuz he can then shove river and you are really screwed again, so both you shoving turn and calling or shoving river ranges all need to be balanced.

completely incorrect. as villain 3bets lighter, highcard hands regain their value significantly as in todays aggro games, top pair is the nuts in a 3bet pot, especially button v blind

i like it because our opponent is

- in a 3bet pot
- OOP
- with a marginal hand

I like shoving flops in rr pots IP and KQ is a better hand to do it with than 54s imo.

4betting is turning a hand that has good value in a 3bet pot postflop into a bluff. i rather 4bet small with 54s (lol) and call with KQo here, and its not even close
