At what positions are you looking to flat, and what positions are you looking for 4bet/get it in?

When for example, you open EP, 3bet from BTN etc. against a random.

I never flat 3bets OOP. AK is part of my value range from any position, so it is always 4bet and call a shove. This is assuming 100bb stacks and against a player with a "normal" 3bet stats a decently aggressive tendencies. Against nits I just fold it when 3bet, against tight regs I might fold if I open AK UTG, maybe MP, if I think they won't 3bet light against me.

Mostly just 4bet OOP against the majority of villains

Don't mind flatting OOP sometimes, especially in spots we can feasibly flat AA (i.e. we open UTG, BTN 3bets, blinds fold).

But yeah, 4b/GII can never be too bad except against confirmed nits.

That's a really broad question

usually you should respond tighter to and from utg/mp.

I think this question is more interesting when we have AQ, because we would sometimes fold or 4bet-fold with AQ depending on positions.

Or when stacks are deeper. How deep and at what positions do we not want to stack off with AK? And if we do not want to stack off with AK because a certain stack depth, do we need to call OOP with AK sometimes, or do we still 4bet but fold to a 5bet?

oooh, I missed the thread title

usually 3bet bluff from MP and flat against UTG from other positions

apart from that, getting it in tru 3/4betting vs CO-BB is not a mistake readles.
