Cool, me & Zach were talking about ways to combat 3-betting light on AIM the other day. Obviously this is one solution, but I wish we had a thread on just combatting light 3-betting in general, since I think 4-bet bluffing is sorta cut & dry.  Btw Jagsti, check your PM's.

I generally look for situations like: Blind vs. Blind or Blind vs. Button battles. I look for 3-bet %'s over 7% over a decent sample as well. Obviously a history of 4-betting for value would be nice as well, but that's optional. Additionally, there are some players who will get all in preflop with any pair at 6-max. So I try to just flat their 3-bets instead and mess with them postflop. I also don't include 4-betting JJ in a button battle as 4-bet bluffing, since I do it for value.

This is my biggest problem, because I usually just shove. I never, never 4-bet fold, since at that point you're pretty priced into calling if you have some sort of equity. However, there are some times when I'd like to 4-bet for a smaller amount, I just never do. Prolly a leak.

Suited, connected aces. A5s, AQs. Stuff that's likely to have at least 30% equity, and has a blocker against my opponent having aces.

Cold 4-bet bluffing is also pretty cool, however I rarely get a chance to do it. Usually when I and another reg are at a table, I'm the only lag and the rest are pretty fishy. So I'm getting 3-bet light, and the rest of the players never raise to allow the reg to 3-bet them.
