Hero (BB): $53.75 (107.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T Q
SB raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $4.50, SB raises to $9.50, Hero calls $5

Flop: ($19) T 5 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets $8.50, Hero raises to $18, SB folds

How should we play pre vs his min 4-bet?
How should we play flop vs him?

Hi blumpkin

If you play versus a monkey we can assume that he 4-bets a lot so perhaps it's better to just call this preflop rather than raise it.

What does his 4-bet mean? You've played 240 hands, surely you must have some reads other than stats? Given we are 100 BB deep and he did 4-bet 19 BB I still think this is a fold.

As played, if he is indeed an aggro monkey just call and let him barrel.

he didn't 4-bet a lot, as far as I remember there were played no more than 100 hands so there wasn't a lot info about his 4-bets, but he loved to bet\raise small
so we should call he small 4-bet at least 150bb deep with this kind of hand?
the problem was that he had polarized range on the flop, turn and on the river he bluffed less and more for value.
so as played we should just play XC on every card of the turn and river?

So he is not that big of a monkey if he is passive with 4bets and on turn/river.

Thus just fold this pre and as you get deeper you can call more hands that you think dominate his bluffing range (as he becomes more polarized).

when I was posting I couldn't find another spot with 4-bet
as far as I remember it was played after QT

If it was after QT i'm assuming you've build a bit more of an aggro image? I mean that's complete spew from him so he must be assuming you are calling wide and raising wide there.

Plus it's same line as with QT (which I like here btw) so he probably took a read and made a mess of it.
