NL10 AK BB battle

Hi,

Direct 4-bet shove likely is not bad, since players would often put you on small pp-s and may call you with AQ, but since you should also balance out your 4-bet value range to 4-bet bluff range and I doubt you´re shoving there K8o or A6 then I would rather 4-bet the same amount that I would do both my value and bluff hands, which is this case 2.6$
That would give him option to shove for value/bluff his Ax hands and also he might shove some random hands that he would just fold to direct 4-bet shove as J9s/Q8s (if he does not wan to call or fold that pre-flop)

The more you get postflop spots, the better you become. There are no standard lines which you have to take in 4-bet pots. My usual line would often be c/c on low boards to keep in dominated hands and let him to bluff off his stack (since they are not shoving any pair, it becomes EV to call him down even on these boards). Other option would betting smaller than 40-50% on dry boards and then continue barreling, but that also depends how often player would decide to float you and very profitable with made hands should also be betting small flop to then either c/rai turn or c/c him down.

best regards,
