25 SH KTo

Hi PedroRobertooo

Given we min raise and he 3-bets small I don't think KTo is overly loose to call but we will obviously be dominated some amount of the time.

Now, given the raise sizes, I would expect people to call more 4-bets in these spots so do we really want to 4-bet a hand like this when we have a higher chance of seeing a flop?

That's a good question. I don't really want to see the flop with this hand, but what can we do in this spot? We can turn more suited hand into a bluff, but suited hands are good to call as well, so I just decided to 4bet and hope to get a lot of fold.

If i defend with more suited hand. I call hands like 89s 76s J9s etc... and maybe turn into a bluff a hand like j7s, 96s. Well, we got another question. Is a 96s or J7s better than KTo? It can probably true because 69s not that dominated and suited hand

In a spot where stacks are deeper or you have smaller betsizes (like here where the 4bet is just 15 BB) you should expect more calls.

That means that you want to have a 4-bet range that's more depolarized. Obviously even hands like AQ/AJ/etc (although you don't need to have all the combos as you want to call some of these).

So really it comes down to what you think the opponent is likely to do. If you have info that he folds a lot regardless you can go back to a more polarized range.

As far as the 96h question goes that hand would fall into a polarized hand range and on top of that it holds no blockers. But hands like K5s or some low Axs are better than Kx o or even 96s. Yes the Kx is still dominated but with a lower kicker you won't have such a hard time playing it later on.

Right here, I should 4bet $3,25-$3,5 a range like this?

TT+,AJs+,KQs,AJo+,KQo

And If I see he folds a lot to 4bet I replace QK, AJ hands for A2s-A5s, 69s hands.

Can it works fine?

That's a start.

And you can decide which part of that range you stack off (again, given the bet sizes it's a bit different because he can 5-bet small or shove and both create different scenarios).
