hello,

which line would be the optimal against Villain from CO with blockers IP?
pre fold?
flat call? - not an option for me
3bet/fold?
3bet / broke?

what is his 4bet/bluff and 4bet/broke range where I am an active 3better?

BTN:31/20
SB: 21/13, tight 3better
BB: 4/4

UTG: 23/20
1st: 8/22/26/42/41
3bet: 13,5, ft3bet: 42
4bet: 25, 4bet range: 6,1, ft4bet: 50
hands: 537

Hero (CO): $31.51
BTN: $10.00
SB: $10.00
BB: $10.00
UTG: $10.32
MP: $10.00

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is CO with A :diamond: Q :spade:
1 fold, MP raises to $0.27, Hero raises to $0.90, 3 folds, MP raises to $3.02, Hero

Hey Mcfly10,

Why is flat call not an option here? It's probably the best line.
2nd best option is to play 3bet/fold.

4b/broke range of villain will frequently be KK+ in this spot, or at the very least QQ+/AK. The large 4bet sizing is usually a tell of strength also.

hello,

ty for the comment,
my leak: playing with broadways against EP aggressor... i do not like flat calling with broadways, Ax hands and waiting for the TP when 3 others playing after me (but in this hand, BB is a rock).

On the other hand, referring to his betsize, i do not think if his 4bet range includes only monsters, thats why i posted this hand :)
The other question is, if he had TT, JJ, AQ-AT type hands, how would he play further, after my 3bet? Could he fold against an active 3better?

Any advise would be would be very welcome
In conclusion, i overplayed my AQ :f_cool:

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is CO with A :diamond: Q :spade:
1 fold, MP raises to $0.27, Hero raises to $0.90, 3 folds, MP raises to $3.02, Hero raises to $31.51 all in, MP calls $6.98 all in

Flop: ($20.15) 9 :diamond: A :spade: K :spade: (2 players - 2 are all in)

Turn: ($20.15) 4 :heart: (2 players - 2 are all in)

River: ($20.15) T :club: (2 players - 2 are all in)

Hey Mcfly10,

Most likely thing that happens is villain flats TT/JJ/AQ and potentially folds AJ/AT. But yeah, some guys will make even tighter folds, other guys will call with all these hands. I think them 4betting TT/JJ is unlikely although sometimes AQ/AJ may get 4bet as a bluff and fold to a jam. (This 4b sizing is basically never a bluff though, this is a huge tell).

i did not expect tight folds by Villain, but lighter 4bets, although he played from MP. he had JJ

This is certainly wider than the average player stacks off from MP at these limits.
It's possible but that this is one of the weakest hands in his range (could be JJ+/AK). However assuming his range is actually wider than this your line can potentially be ok.
