Thoughts on this hand please.

Villian 34/20/39 Agg Freq
4bet 20% (1 of 5)

Should I be 3beting pre? I considered flatting but thought villian had a wide stealing range and we'd be playing fit-or-fold alot and not have the implied odd's of hitting due to his weak range.

When he 4bets I don't like having an ace in my hand, but don't think I can fold there.

This hand is basically two ok Hold'em hands -- it's not that great of a PLO hand. I'd flat before I 3-bet, and while I'd fold against some opponents it seems like it's ok to just call vs him.

When he 4bets I don't like having an ace in my hand, but don't think I can fold there.

Why do you not think you can fold?

I probably fold to the open raise, or I don't 3bet this hand. I definitely fold to the 4bet. I just play super tight out of the blinds though. Make that 2 a 9 or 6 and I am on board with 3betting this sort of hand.

Definitely fold to the 4-bet. I don't hate the 3-bet, but I think just calling would likely be better. The problem is that even though you are double suited, the 2 otherwise doesn't add value to your hand and your second suit is only to the 7. I think if you had something like AhKd7h2d or even AhQd7h2d this would be more of a hand to 3-bet since you have two good flush draws plus additional top pair possibilities.

Thanks for the comments peeps, I posted the hand as I'm thinking one of my leaks is calling 4bets too much, esp oop.

I can see what your saying about pre-flop as well.

He's probably folding 1% to your 3bets despite having a wide steal range, so ur better off calling to pot control when u will play OOP. And fold to that 4bet.
