The BTN is very tight and we aren’t closing the action. 4 betting I would never do against that kind of player and calling isn’t ideal as well, but I would most likely do that with the MP2 that will fold most of the time and the fish that will call most of the time based on his fishy stats, but if you have no clue how to play the hand out of position post-flop folding isn’t bad ether I think. It’s always better than getting in spots you will lose more money against the tight player.

Cheers,

Agreed, fold is fine. BU is nitty. It's fine to just not even have a calling range here I think. It keeps your life super simple and it is so marginal to do that anyway. If you do want to have a calling range, AK, AQ, and TT, JJ is pretty much the range you should do it with. Maybe not even AQ because it's tricky postflop, and JJ,TT purely for setmining cos you gonna win stacks when you hit.

You have a coin flip against his range unless he holds AA KK that you block

Well button is a nit so we cannot 4b without thinking.
Maybe this is one of the cases where we can fold our hand.

Difficult spot. BTN looks nitty. Because of that I don't think 4betting is very good. If you just call you might end up playing postflop mw OOP, don't like that much either. That leaves folding but folding might be a bit weak.

Villain's 3bet is close to 3% so I expect him to have other hands than just KK+ (that would be only 0.9%). Because he is tight, we might make him fold hands like QQ and AK by 4betting, maybe?
I would either call and see the flop or 4bet and fold vs 5bet. Not completely sure those are profitable moves so I can agree with folding too.

We should check his squeeze stat.

The 4bet/fold crossed my mind, but hard to know how much FE we have against a nitty nl2 player.

I don't think we should use a squeeze stat based on a 200 hand sample to inform our decision. This guy has played a grand total of 31 of his hands over this time and 3bet very rarely.

The players above base some of their assumptions on villain's 3b stat. I am saying that we should check the squeeze stat instead.
As a rule.

2BB open is fishy, call as well. therefore is the squeeze from BTN just normal here. Consequently 4betting is a must! Or are we only going to do this only with KK+?

The squeeze stat is 5% and he did that with TT
