I fold there all the time, because my squeeze is rather a vbet.

Assuming you do this against the right villains (because you prob shouldn't be squeezing a 12/10 villain UTG) you're not as big of a dog as you think so. A shove over is AK a lot of the times and for me that's enough to call.

Ok serious question:
Whenever I got AK or QQ and shove, they got KK or AA...
Why does everyone say they shove AK preflop all the time?

i've had enough people show up with TT-QQ and even AQ/AJ/KQ/meowchow.
other than that, if they fold any pp to ur shove it's good4u.

if you only get called by KK/AA you're maybe not aggro enough.

yes lower PPs, good aces and stuff
I mean when we 3bet the first time, we do it for value, because we dont have information that his hand is stronger than ours, now he 4bets, we got more information and we can fold, because he has us crushed!

Because either:

1. Your sample size is too small or

2. Most people who say this are playing non-uNL stakes.


At 50NL I might and might not fold this ... Mostly I'd felt it ... but it is player dependent.

At 200NL there is no way you are prying JJ out of my hands in that situation and I'm taking it to the felt like always ! (Well the player pool against whom I'd fold this is counted on the fingers of one hand)

pretty much. I try and tone it down for uNL stuff. But i constantly find myself aipf w/ AQ/TT/99 etc and well ahead of villian.

Yeah ok, this might be the case at NL200, and to some extend at NL100, but when giving this advice in the micro forum, it's rather stupid, because villains wont think on 2nd level, and they rather call 3bets with QQ and AK and looking for a safe flop rather than 4betting AI for FE and stuff like that.

getting it AIPF with AK/QQ or any worse hand is not about FE or safe flops...its about maximizing EV against villians range. Alot of them are gonna be kinda nitty...but usually your stats should give you a decent picture of what you should and shouldn't felt preflop. Obv if you are a 16/12 then JJ probably isn't the best thing to felt against someone who is 'aware'

How many people are aware of that at NL50?
Not many...
I play 24/20, but does that mean I could felt JJ pf and be expected to get called by TT or AQ when I shove?
I 4bet JJ+ and AK from time to time, but fold often against a push (might be a leak but not so sure).

its a def leak to 4bet/fold those hands. You have put too much money in for folding to be best and you shouldn't be 4betting the the kind of person that could warrant a fold to a 5bet shove.


You would be surpised who is aware and you have a Laggish image. Theres nothing wrong with playing conservatively at uNL but you need to focus on the EV of these situations and 4bet folding is never +EV with standard stacks...except possibly for meta purposes.

TT is the nuts silly

I always 4bet to 2.25 the 3bet amount, so I am not priced in vs KK+, therefore I fold.

If you're folding TT-QQ to a push, you're better off flatting the 3-bet. Why would you wanna turn the best hand into a bluff?

I usually just call there with TT-QQ, AK.
I 4bet very rarely, only if someone seems to 3bet me quite often.
03-27-2008 , 10:09 AM
oh ya....also

i cant remember the last time I 4bet w/ AA or KK.

Note before I say this: uNL - this is NOT for you, don't 4-bet light, you'll save a bunch of money that way.

Spur, if I had to give you a range to 4-bet against a person that you think may be 3-betting light, it'd be this: KK+, AK, T7s, 75s. I'll let you ponder from there.
