AQ to a 4 bet

<< < (2/2)

deanp27:
in most cases (in MTTs especially) you shouldn"t 3bet AQ to a button raiser if you are going to fold to a 4bet - you might as well 3bet with 72o as it is basically a bluff. Have a plan before you 3bet, don"t just go ZOMG i have AQ let"s 3bet without thinking about what comes next, which is why stack sizes are so important.

loads of factors come into play - stacks, position, blinds, table image of all involved etc etc etc

agreed AQ doesn"t stand up well vs most people"s 4betting range but think about that before 3betting in the first place.

in later stages of MTTs, 3bet/folding is just spew, with 100bb etc then it can be fine depending upon circumstances.


edit - just seen the 100bb+ part - not happening very often in MTTs and will occur in cash, therefore it is very player read dependant - also consider whether it is 6max or full ring etc

most of the time AQ s behind here.

However...... of course, the LP raiser might be thinking that you as BB have figured that his LP raise is a steal and you are 3-betting light, so he is going to 4-bet equally light... he might think that you think that he thinks that you think he is weak, and might try to make you think that actually he thinks that you thinks that he thinks that you think that he is strong. Oh sod it, just fold.
