Villain is unknown I think we get only called by better hands on the flop so I decided to go check call. I guess villain mostlikely shuts down his bluffs on turn and flop hits his estimated 4b calling range quite well so should I give up turn? Even though it brings more draws which could make villain to jam wider.

Hi tukioppilas62

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: How exactly only better calls? Are you assuming he only calls TT-QQ and AK?

Can we not see some AQ, some KQ, etc?

I still think you can bet yourself (look at the stack sizes, his range will be wide).

Hmm yeah, but isn't it better to let him bluff if he wants to? And not bet his bluffs out. By checking the flop I try to message him I just 4bet bluffed you and I'm giving up so that he puts bluffs me w. air. We strongly block AQ and KQ is quite few combos considering his whole range. But the flop is drawy and we probably should protect here so should we play b/f on the flop and jam a brick turn or what?

As played do you think we should be folding the turn?

It's a connected board so what bluffs are you expecting him to have? PPs? Some small connectors?

I think that he has a lot more hands you can actually get value from than hands he can bluff.

Obviously, it's a 4-bet pot, so you can go either way here but think about your range as well. How does your hand look after check/calling the flop in a 4-bet pot vs a sizeable bet?

"PPs? Some small connectors?" - yes I think something like that but I agree with you we have value on the flop which is highest likely more worth than trying to make villain bluff.

After I check call my hand looks strong so turn I think we are most likely behind after villain jams. But I think check folding the turn is still quite weak and exploitable (if hero takes such lines often in 3bet pots, (ch/call flop fold turn).

I don't think your average reg will call many 4-bets with small connectors so those are generally out and pairs generally check back (to check down).

As far as turn I don't think we can fold because he may try to turn some AK into a semibluff there or overvalue Qx.
