Reads: BB has seemed aggressive but not horrible. Button has played really badly so far but is generally pretty passive; SB seems ok.

am i crazy for wanting to 4bet pre here to clean up our outs/maybe occasionally get him off of KKxx or QQxx?

as played I think we have to dump it, we just don't have enough clean outs and there are 2 more dudes behind who very well could have us owned completely.

I considered it but thought his range for squeezing should be stronger since he's expecting to get called in at least 1-2 spots. It felt like it might be a bit easier to play postflop if I just called, intending to get it in on a lot of 1pr boards and boards where I flop wraps/FDs/etc, but I'm not sold that it's necessarily a lot better to call than 4-bet. I tanked for a while before calling pre.

K. HU I'm assuming you just jam, right? What about 3-ways? He's not deep, we have a pair, two backdoor flush draws, some backdoor straight draws, etc.

HU we obviously get it in, 3handed I'd probably get it in but wouldn't be excited about it. Would help if the 3rd guy checked first to act.

also, just ran the #'s and we're 44.4% against AAxx, so I guess 4betting would only be good if there was more dead money in there or if he would ever fold KK to a 4bet.
