hey guyz,

villain 25/20 BU PFR 28%, bu fold vs 3bet 69%... fold vs 4bet 57%(seems not a maniack)
BTN 4bet range is 4,6% FOLD vs 5bet on the button 71% (7)


i checked 7-10 hands sample saw him 4bet calling only QQ+ AK vs regs...

1) what do u think his 4bet calling range could look like 128bb deep ? i think it should be AK+QQ+ or even tighter???like QQ-AA and half combos of AK... he might flat some AK... i think he probably will flat TT,JJ,AQ not 4bet call...

the tighter his 4bet calling range is the better it is for our bluff 5bet range is.. we can shove and show a profit pockets vs him if he 4bet call only AK QQ+



2) after we saw him 4bet bluff should we adjust somehow vs him.. stop 3bet shoving vs him 77+ and stick like to TT+ AK or to depolarized range KJ+ ATs+??because his adjustment should be to stop 4bet bluff vs us, because we saw him doing that... Can we now 3bet pure bluff him more often, because he knows that me know he is capable of 4bet bluffing, and he might think that we wouldn't bluff 3bet him , because of that..

sounds like a levelling game, he thinks that i think that he thinks


but what are your thoughts guys about that question ?

If he keeps 4betting you, then 3betting and in turn 5betting with higher frequency seems reasonable to me.

You ought to avoid 3betting hands that have good postflop equity and simultaneously you don't want to stack-off with them preflop (KQ/KJ etc..)

He might stop 4betting that often after this hand or maybe he will still 4bet quite often but with the intention of calling your 5bet shove.


The easiest solution is to just focus on other players at the table, though. These x-bet wars will be never be extremely profitable IMO.

yeah - depends on his 4bet frequency. if it's non-existant, then i recon we can find a fold here.
if it's high (and his 3bet %age isnt that high anyway), then stacking off is fine.

also, he's on the BTN. so stacking off with AKs PF isnt that bad anyway.
