pre: AQ is here in my standard bluff 4 betting range in these positions . what about sizing oop i like to make it a bit bigger ??

postflop: i dont see any reason to bet vs unknown. he is not calling worse three streets and defenitely folding better. so i decided to c down or bet tu if he x backs river. and give him the opportunety to bluff. ( since he is unknown i dont know what excatly he is calling pf with , but my guess would be something like AA KK (both discounted most players still just shove them ) , AK, QQ, JJ (also a bit discounted most players just flats them in those positions) , and some suited connectors if he is a fishier player, also some Axs )

tu same idea in game ( but now afterwards im wondering if he would continue bluffing on the blank vs unknown ?( )

river: also unsure . if his range consists manly of bluffs then a x would be better because its the perfect card 4 him to fire again. on the other hand if he has something like KK or Axs he will x back. but probably still call and if he has Ak it doesent matter .

what about if villain is a reg ? which line would be best there?

Hey retic,

AQo may be a standard bluff in this spot, but we are likely not playing vs a standard opponent. BTNs 3bet size give us a clue he is likely a fish. You don't want to 4bet bluff fish.

AQo is actually close to a value 4bet against a fish, but since we can't be 100% sure what kind of range BTN makes this small-3bet with, it's likely better to flat preflop and keep pot small.

Your postflop line is ok. If there is any point you can consider folding it's the turn, but would not fold TPTK vs a fish in 4bet pot. Vs a reg he probably just has KK+ by this point and you can fold turn.

There are a few differences. For example a reg is unlikely to 3bet with this sizing.

Also if you did 4bet AA preflop it'd be for value so it seems that you might as well just bet for value on flop.

Also a lot of regulars are not necessarily calling your 4bet that often in the first place, they may just be following a 5bet or fold strategy.
