I don't have Chris Ferguson in the fridge, so help me out here! Just got seated at this table. Decided to 4-bet pf to disguise my hand and polarize his range.

Poker Stars $200+$15 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t50/t100 Blinds + t10 - 6 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

nog nuBkoM (UTG): t6469 M = 30.80
mshabububu (MP): t5305 M = 25.26
Hero (CO): t17760 M = 84.57
TheWarDrums (BTN): t9450 M = 45
PMassie (SB): t18357 M = 87.41
tRaMp$d0PrAy (BB): t20019 M = 95.33

Pre Flop: (t210) Hero is CO with T

2 folds, Hero raises to t300, 2 folds, tRaMp$d0PrAy raises to t685, Hero raises to t1500, tRaMp$d0PrAy raises to t2645, Hero calls t1145

Flop: (t5400) K

(2 players)
tRaMp$d0PrAy bets t1435, Hero calls t1435

Turn: (t8270) T

(2 players)
tRaMp$d0PrAy bets t3435, Hero calls t3435

River: (t15140) Q

(2 players)
tRaMp$d0PrAy bets t12494 all in, Hero ?

wtf 4b pre is just so unjustifiably bad.

postflop is fine, don't jam turn.

Could someone explain to me what the harm is in 4betting pre when we're this deep? Not that I'm doubting it, I just want to hear the reasons why.

Because we aren't deep enough to be too thrilled at flatting a 5 bet with JTs.
