Ave stack : 20k

Hero: 16k
Blinds 100/200

Hand: ATo

Fold to hero who is mp1. Raise to 425, mp2 who is calling station pf flats. Button who played only one hand previously and showed a big bluff 3bets to 1350. Folded back to me. The hand before I opened same amount with 65s called 3bet and outplayed the guy list flip and showed bluff. Figured with would be a sick squeeze spot for button. Every hand was 3bet - 4 bet at my table so table dynamics were crazy. I chose to 4bet to 3400. MP2 folds, button flats. Flop A 6 7 rainbow. I lead 3600 button raises me to 10k, I sigh ship he calls and flips AA. Thoughts other than than preflop overplay?

Fold to the 3 bet, not really close imo.

not a fan of the preflop play... now ur in a really weird/unnecessary spot. i dont like leading flop either ... u have to bet/fold now cuz 3bet jamming this flop is horrendous. if anything ... chk/calling or chk jamming flop is the best idea if ur just gonna put ur $ in when hes basically spelling it out for u that ur way behind in the few instances that he may have KK or QQ... but when u lead into him and he raises to 10k.. hes never folding and has u ruined

love when people used to playing on the internet start playing live.

edit: everyone always thinks they are getting outplayed... no one is caging people hard enough at 100/200 of a live $500 to justify 4 betting pre

Think 4-bet bluffing in this situation is fine. Wouldn't assume 3-bets are always JJ+/AK based on table, villain's position OTB, and player description.

However, think ATo is a bad hand to do it with assuming you are reasonbly likely to get flatted. If you 4-bet JTs or somethingand get flatted, you can misrepresent on A or K high flops and if you make a pair or draw and get it in, you are usually not in that bad shape.

Better not to post results. May be a fold to his flop shove. Not sure if you are getting the proper odds as he almost always has you crushed.
