Should never fold right ?
What is your defaut here as deep ?
Strong enough to call ? if not just have to 4bet it as a bluff ?

i don't like your original raise

i also don't like your line of thinking

"Should never fold right ?"

we can indeed fold, his raise to 12bb is enough that we likely don't have good equity against his range

"What is your defaut here as deep ?"

fold

"Strong enough to call ? if not just have to 4bet it as a bluff ?"

not strong enough to call, and you're a maniac if you start 4betting K9

you got yourself into a bad situation by raising K9 to 3.5bb, don't make it worse by putting 12bb or more into this pot

Isolation raise of the fish from BTN looks very standard. Now fold to the 3B.

Iso pre is std but size it larger.. Like 5bb.
Fold to the 3bet

4.5x iso pre

Iso Fish is good.

Now vs. the 3bet things get interesting. His stats indicate a pretty tight 3bet range so its a clear fold. Against someone who I thought was squeezing frequently here, I think its a tougher spot.

Against a reasonably squeezing range: TT+, AJs+, KJs+, QJs, JTs, AQo+ we have 33.65% equity. Villains knowing we are isoing a fish should probably be squeezing lighter than this, which could make either calling or 4betting a potentially viable option depending on how your opponent plays.

Vilain looks tight but only 200 hands so the 4% 3bet doesnt mean much here imo
So i think we should consider that he is a normal reg with a normal 3bet strat/frequency

Just fold

fold

i fold
i like the raise pre
do not think 4betting is a maniac option although i wouldn't 4b here
