I 4bet as bluff KJo, ATo from BU. Is it ok to bet turn and river since his range looks weak? I was not sure about river, TT got there, but JJ, QQ still calls which are very likely.

Hi GingerKid,

I think you can just call the 3-bet IP with this hand given the SPR that would be created with a 4-bet (that would have villain call us more often).

I wouldn't say that QQ is very likely. Sure he has some combos but I'd say that a lot (and JJ as well) can 5-bet preflop.

We beat no Kx and the value range is narrow when he can also have KQ and even some combos of AK (if you added QQ there).

I discarded AK, because he checks flop and turn, and I would expect him to bet at least turn to protect. I think he calls KQs only, so 2 combos and thats why I value bet because I didnt see what stronger he might have.

Well, I would keep some AK in there. He doesn't really have a reason to protect. We checked the flop as PFR so we won't have many hands that he needs protection from and he could induce a bet from us (after his second check).

JJ is 3 combos (we have one J) and QQ maybe 2-3 combos. I also think that he can have KQo as well so a max of 8 combos, but at least 2.
