Need a check on my preflop line here.
Normally I
never ever 4 bet this, but I generally think calling 3 bets oop is just disgusting.
I also noticed this guy is VERY paranoid, in 3 bet/4 bet spots and in blind battles. E.g. I've seen him call a 4 bet with TT oop. He just thinks everyone is making moves on him all the time.
It's probably because he's very aggressive and makes a lot of 3 bet bluffs so I think he assumes everyone else who's not passive is doing it as well.
Could I have played this better preflop? What other line can I take?
Based on my read, KQs is in very good shape vs his 3 betting range in a blind battle.
So.. folding is ridiculous, calling is ****ing awful, 4 betting seems a bit spewy... what can we do?
Just for the record he SNAP called the flop shove with KJ without a moments thought, this is how paranoid the guy is.
