Hi adi1990v

Preflop: why are you raising so big here?

Postflop: as played can you post the rest of the stats? Is he a monkey fish or a tight regular that's aggressive? It's very important to look at the big picture.

Vs aggro fish we never fold flop. Vs some regs we do fold flop.

Hi BogdanPS

The below are the stats of the player.

VPIP 56 PFR 14 3bet 14%
Cbet 85% Fold to Cbet 40%
Total Aggression 50%

And, also is 4 times the big blind too big of a raise to open with?
That is my standard open. Please advise on if i have to reduce it to 3 bb.

4 blinds raise, especially from a steal position is too much because you are risking a lot of money for very little money with a range that cannot withstand pressure (3-bets).

It's ok to make it 4x when you have massive fish in the blinds.

What sample do you have on the fish? When you look at stats looking at the sample first is crucial.

He seems aggro over this sample so it's hard to fold strong TP vs him however I'd consider raising the turn.
