Villains is a winning reg, has 3% bb cold 4bet range

This is one of the few times I got into such a spot vs a small cold 4b oop with deepish stacks.

Only reason I called is because I get 20% pot odds and was hoping to hit something or take it away from him which is what I did.

I was wondering though, how should you construct your range in this spot. My sb 3bet range is pretty linear like 12-15% maybe

Its a pretty awkward spot though because when he makes it so small it prob means he doesnt have anything and should fold very often to a 5b. However do I want to pass my huge odds and 5b there? Downside is that if I do and he defends then it will be really difficult to play.

stack off range: AA/KK
So calling range:all the rest?
bluffing range: ?
5b fold- value range: does it make sense to 5b fold AK-QQ/JJ ?

Please give advice vs an u/k reg

And to make things more interesting i found this hand I played vs him a few weeks ago, so how should we change our game plan when we are playing vs him?

Hey Maritsula,

Not fully relating to reasoning here. So the guy has a 3% cold 4b range and your conclusion is that he probably doesn't have a hand? I would not infer too much from the sizing here.

I actually think folding preflop is best here. We are not that deep. Even if we were super deep the disadvantage of being OOP increases. How much of a disadvantage this is depends on ability of opponent, and as you say yourself he is a winning reg.
