Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 5965161, member: 393841"] If your goal with 4-betting is to get them to give up dominated hands, you need to be bigger for your 4-bet range. A larger proportional size will induce a greater amount of exploitive folds, when we have a tighter range image. On the contrary, when our perceived range is wider, the big 4-bet will achieve the polarization of both ranks (hero and villain). In this second case, it will be convenient to make a smaller size of 4-bet, because we will obtain little fold equity and we are not deep stack. The flop check line is reasonable. Another option is cbet 25% pot, but given our SPR there is no significant difference in these options. As played, the delayed continuation bet on the turn, indicates that you probably 4-bet preflop with hands like: Ax; Qx. With the size that you chosed you represent a heart blocker, as any other hand will look for a larger size, to make up for the bet not made on the flop. And any flush draw combo will now check on the turn, because by not betting on the flop, you want to hide your strength to induce bets from BTN who seem to want a lot of action, from preflop in this hand. On the river the Qh appears and when we check, we are representing the strongest part of our range. However, it is unlikely that the villain will believe this, as it is possible to perceive a blocker in us, but having a flush in our range is really a far cry, considering that the board eliminates most of the blockers of heart. In short, we represent the best hand with our river check line. So when the villain doesn't believe this, he knows that he must represent the top of his range when he decides to jam, because basically there are no sets in our range. And in this hand, the most expected is TT in the V range. Since BTN was able to float comfortably in the previous streets, because we did not print enough pressure. Because of how the sequence played out, I think without specific reads this is a fold on the river. [/QUOTE]
