I think I had around 1k hands sample size via poker tracker.
I don't know. I think at the time I was afraid of the jam, but looking back - I suppose villain might be more likely to jam with his weaker hands if I flat the $20.
Does that mean if I call the $20, I always have to call a jam in that position - and that it's better to flat than to jam myself?
Also, thanks for your reply Magnum. I think the problem is that if I do jam, the villain is only ever calling me with the top end of his range (AA, KK, AK). Since he only has $4.50 invested in the pot after 3 betting me, I'm only winning that $4.50 when he folds out JJ, AQ, KQ etc.
Yeah a significant amount of the people on my tables have a 3bet percentage of around 8%. The very good players tend to balance the times they get 4bet by jamming some of the weaker hands in their range. It's a crazy looking strategy but it does make them very hard to play against - they tend to balance the big losses by winning lots of smaller pots and stacking opponents when they do have AA, KK.
