I'm check raising with AQ/KK/AA on this flop, and check/folding with hands I'm likely calling to hit a set or overpair with. JJ/QQ/JQ I'm probably calling and donk leading the turn.

i prefer c/f but will occassionally b/f based on villian
depends on villain, but its often a c/f here. If hes a solid regular who you know is going to be 3 betting light i take a different line on the flop.

I often 4-bet pre here in a BvB battle if I think he's playing his position even a little.
Yeah I 4-bet pre here as my standard line. I need notes or stats telling me not to 4 bet, not vice versa.

Yeah, I mean, you're not really gonna get called by any hands that you dominate too often, but you'd really like to make him fold things that he could reasonably RR you with in this situation like AJ+, QJ+, KJ+ and those types of hands that we flip against.I 4-bet as a default here too.

Unknown villain ... $25 and dump UI with action
Care to explain why?We're OOP and crushed by his range after this horrible flop. We know nothing about his hand, so let's start randomly bluffing into him?

Villain is new to table has a lot to do with it. I think he has as much chance to have any of 15 random suited connector hands or PP<TT in play as he does AA KK QQ JJ AQ AJ. Something about "first hands" ... people always play them hard, especially when they feel under attack in the BB right away.

I think you're gonna lose a lot of money if you think that new players are going to start randomly bluffing other players that they know nothing about. I think more often than not, when playing against people that you know nothing about, people tend to err on the side of caution.This is an easy c/f. It's an easier 4-bet pre as well.

I think this is a pretty easy c/f on the flop.Without a read on the BB i'd 4-bet this pretty much all the time as well.

4betting here essentially turns your hand into bluff unless you actually plan on calling an all-in
Eh, I disagree. In this situation, I like 4-betting to get rid of a lot of unpaired overcards that would have a ton of equity against us that he could reasonably RR with. If I'm 4 betting, I am probably calling the all in. I don't think it's a bluff since we're never going to fold out better hands, just hands that shouldn't fold like QJo :club:
Wasn't there just recently a thread on exactly that?http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...114986&st=0
Umm, this thread is nothing like the OP.

what does he shove that we beat? AK is the bottom of his range and maybe maybe AQ. Do you think villain would shoves 7s 8s 9s? If AK is the bottom of his shoving range, our hand does not look good here which is why i'd rather 4b 57o here than TT.
