Full Ring No Limit Poker Forums

I had less than 100 hands on the villain at the time but he was running around 35/27 if I remember correctly and one hand I specifically remember with playing with him a round or two before he min-reraised me from late position with KJo when I had opened w/ KQs.He then minbet a pretty coordinated King high flop (KTx 2-tone) so I don't think he's very good. With this past history I think that there is definitely value in 4-betting but being OOP obviously makes the hand hard to play if I miss. Calling and playing fit or fold seems really passive/weak against this type. What is a good 4-bet size? My standard 2-3X range? Something bigger and committing? A shove? Or don't 4bet and try to make a pair and value town?

Ok, there are 3 things that would affect my sizing here. 1 is there is another player in the hand. I want to get him out. The second is that unless we hit, AK can be tricky to play in a bloated pot. So I want to make it big enough where I have some fold equity (perfectly happy taking down the 15bbs or whatever is in the pot) or get him in a spot where we can commit his chips. 3, we are OOP and that just sucks.

So end monologue. I probably make it like close to full pot, around $17. That basically makes 1 PSB left and would consider open shoving it on most flops if he just calls.
