Hi I’m just wondering how to size this preflop.

50NL
6max online.

.25/.5 blinds.
UTG opens to 1.13
UTG+1 3! To 4.
Hero SB with JJ

And the effective stack is 58.

What size do we go here? I went 12.2 or something

This is a good refresher. I had to go look at my notes for this one.

3x OOP
2.6x-2.7x IP

So 12 is fine.

The deeper we are, the bigger your 4bet sizing.

Also cold 4bets should be slightly bigger than heads up 4bets because we are against 2 ranges instead of 1.

For sure, since we’re a little over 100bb I went just over 3x

Another thing to consider is catering to my 4!/fold range, which benefits from a smaller 4! Sizing

I think even 2.8x oop could be fine maybe 1.13->4->11.25 if stacks are 100bb. Also this takes advantage of the apparent polarization of an UTG+1 3! Range since small sizings abuse polarized ranges

(We don’t have to worry much about him being priced in to set mine since his 3! Range really doesn’t contain many small pairs to mine with)
