Hi!
The opponent is opening 53% from the BU, he folds to 3bets 50% and has a 4bet range of 9% on the BU.
Against these smallish 4bets, how do you react? I mean, 5bet shoving with hands such as TT, AQ, etc. gets a bit expensive. Would you call with your premium range as well to protect your entire range and only play call or fold? would you develop a mini5bet range? With which kind of hands?
Postflop, I had a note that on a earlier hand he checked behind flop, fold turn on a Kxx board on a 4bet pot. So that's why I ended up folding. I also thought that he would likely shove turn as a bluff instead of doing small bets. And I suppose that having that read, I should rather call 4bets with 89s, T9s type of hands instead of KJ...
Thanks!
