Villain: almost no info - 48 hands - 34/34/12% 3bet...sample too low to judge his playstyle but seems to be normal player not too fishy
These spots are really problematic for me...I'm not sure how to play in 4bet pots OOP after my bluff 4bet is called preflop.
I use KJo as a 4bet bluff SB vs BB and I get called. If I think about it he shouldn't have monsters like QQ+ and AKs if he choose to call 4bet. Some fishes call with them but it's not frequent. So I put him or something like this: JJ-TT, AQs-AJs, KQs, 98s, 87s, 76s, AKo
I decided to bet flop because he has a lot of air in his range on this flop and I can improve my hand on the turn. I bet small so I don't get pot commited plus I think he will fold his air weak draws and weak pairs anyway on this flop in 4bet spot. He calls...
On the turn I was thinking what to do and I knew he will only call me with his best hands like sets, JJ, or straights if I decide to shove. He will most like call with range like this: JJ, 87s, ThTs, ThTc, TsTc, 9d8d, 7d6d but I'm not sure if it's possible for him to hold TT, I think he would most likely reraise on the flop, not sure.
I can still represent monsters with my turn shove there while he shouldn't have them.
I know I'm pretty much fuc**d when he calls. I only have GS and overcards and not all would help me as he has flush draws and straight draws.
Anyway..I think he will only call like 1/3 of times - JJ,TT,8d9d,87s,6d5d...aaaand it's still -EV as I will loose 153bb 35% of times (he calls, my equity is 12% and pot would be 200bb roughly ) and win 67bb 65% of times (he folds) roughly...may be even worse. It's like -10bb EV in this hand for me (67x0.65-153x0.35) = (how much I win when he folds minus how much I lose when he calls)
I shall give up this hand on the flop right? There is probably no need to bluff here with this hand as I have better hands for bluffs in my 4bet range - Suited aces, suited kings, Q9s-QJs, AKs for example...I want to bluff there sometimes but probably not with this hand right? What would you recommend range wise?
