He decides to c-bet for 60, and Hero decides to call. Because of that, I would just call, just like Hero did, and unfortunately the a-fish folds, that’s okay, we’ll go heads up to it. I just think that the decent reg is going to play a little too optimally in that situation against us and I don’t really want to do that in this spot. Given that, I think a lot more mistakes happen if we just decide to call here than if we decide to four bet. There’s like no questions going post-flop, everything is going to be really, really face up and easy. Then also we’re in a situation where it’s roughly what, about 2 SPR and it’s totally automatic. In this situation I would say, “Okay, if I flat, what happens?” Well, if I flat call here, I assume that the aggro-fish is most likely going to call as well, because it’s only $25 more for him. I’m not really, again, getting that from the dynamic that’s being described. I think is just the kind of situation where if he has something like queens, jacks, ace/king, I think he goes away when you come over the top, because he probably views your four bet range as quite, quite narrow, which gives you a great bluffing opportunity, but not a great opportunity to go for a four bet with aces exactly, unless you’re trying to balance. If we do decide to four bet, I think the decent reg goes away, unless he has exactly kings or exactly the other aces. If we do decide to four bet in this situation, I think the aggro-fish is going to go away, unless he’s just like super, super whaley and just does not ever want to find the fold button, and I’m not quite getting that from the description that you gave me.

We’re obviously never going to fold, so we can either four bet it, or we can just call.įirst and foremost, I would always start by asking myself, “Could I four bet here?” One of the other follow-up questions I have to ask myself there is, “Do I ever four bet anything that isn’t just like kings plus or maybe just aces?” Why would I want to take the action that tips off my exact hand? Typically not something that I want to be doing.įor more about this check out this detailed article on Value Betting vs Bluffing. In this situation we essentially have two different options. In this hand, you decide to open with aces under the gun, totally standard, get called by somebody you describe as an aggro-fish, totally standard, end up facing a squeeze from someone you describe as a tag regular, decent person, okay, not as standard, and here we are. I’m really, really happy I’ve been able to help you at all, hopefully this helps you as well. Great job implementing the stuff we’ve been talking about and keep up the good work. Shane, I just want to say congratulations on the recent results.
