4-bet/calling AQ/TT on the BU ?

Hi guys, I have the feeling this move is standard for most MS regs, but to be honest I don't really see why.

When you 4-bet AQ at 16bb and vilain shoves, you have 37% equity against this shoving range {99+, AQs+, A5s, AQo+},  but you need 42% (84bb/200bb).

Also AQ is playing very well in a 3b pot IP.

On the other hand when vilain is calling your 4-bet you're in a good position with AQ, but is it worth it ?


Thanks !

isn't like TT+, AK+ from BTN standard? And 88+ , AQ+ in the blinds.

I'm just guessing but I think AQ generally got a higher ev when calling a 3b than 4betting. And also it protects our range on a-high boards etc.

I don't normally 4bet AQ for the reasons sweet16 stated. It's also a hand that can call many flops vs. high 3bettors as a float/best hand play where villain will very likely rep a turn card that we hit.

Ok thanks for your answers, I thought this was standard because when I looked the "Calling 4-bets OOP" video, Parker Muir said most regulars are using TT+ AQ+ as a 4b range from BU
