hello ladies and gentleman
because of my serious illness this topic wasnt coached last month.
i asked some listeners and a lot of them really wanted that topic to be in a coaching, so here we are.
today will be a theory coaching only, because there is a lot of math included in this topic wether it is profitable or not against a specific opponent (or two) to 4bet or not.
as usual, feel free to post your own hands into this thread.

v. is playing: 31/23. 3bet: 9%
v. has been 3betting me a lot. i wanted to 4bet broke here because i thing that v. could go broke with worse hands and because i want to to know that he shouldn´t 3bet me so much. would it be better to just fold? is a call ip possible?

what is the best preflop play here? playing oop is ugly but i can´t 4bet broke for value. so i would have to 4bet fold as a bluff. i think the hand is to strong for that. so is the call correct even if we have to play oop?
