I'm trying to post some more interesting spots in a play-along-with-me type of fashion so that's what this is.

So there's a pretty interesting interesting dynamic at this table. There are 3 of us at the table who have been playing for about 2-3 hours. The table is 5 handed with 2 relative unknowns.

Lebgrrl is one of the biggest HS fish on the site and has been playing the whole time. (s)he was sitting with $7k when I sat to their left and we were HU. He plays 52/9/1.8 and never 3bets pf, does a lot of limping with his monsters, bluffs in bad spots, etc.

About 20 minutes later Thijs sits to my left. Thjis is very very good from what I've seen. He is playing about 34/23/3 and in the first hour or so of us playing 3-handed he was 3betting me a decent amount, re-isolating. Since the table has become 5-6 handed he has quietened down and hasn't 3bet me in over an hour.

Both of us have taken a decent amount off Lebgrrl and other than the first hour have mostly stayed out of each others way (moreso me than him - as he has position on me).

I have ~$4,700 and he covers.

UTG (lebgrrl) folds, I pick up in the CO and make it $70. Thijs makes it $222, the blinds fold and it's back to me.

Hero?

More info: I hadn't 4bet him before, and I had called one of his 3bets and folded to his CB.

calllllllllllllllll

i would like insta 4-bet with 42s though...since it would look sooo strong

I'll take a stab. I dunno what level you guys think at, but I dont think him being quiet for an hour necessarily narrows his range that much since he's probably aware his image is now clean.

Given stacks, 4 bet big (800)?

Since you havent been actively 4 betting i think you can assume he'll react straightforwardly here. He cant really call with anything except AA/KK and if you havent 4 bet in 3 hours, he may even muck KK as not being worth it given pot/stack ratio. Plus AA/KK are the least likely of his holdings. Risking 700 more to win the 300 in the pot, I think you def get a fold more than the 70% of the time you need for it to be profitable.

4-betting AK this deep is definately going to turn it into a bluff. Obv if we are ever going to 4-bet we should 4-bet here but we will play this deep against this villain so rarely that I wouldn't worry about it.

I would call and proceed with caution even if I improved.

Lol. I called. The flop was .
