Hey not being result oriented, just wanted to know if there is anything to change in this hand. Should I be 4betting bigger? No way in hell I can x/f turn. V is 22/22 0%3bet over 48 hands.. not much info, looks like QQ+ to me

I'd use a bit bigger 4bet sizing preflop, 2,40-2,50 would be my choice. 2,2x is okey IP, but OOP we should slightly increase our sizing I think.

And no, we can't really avoid this. Even if you check the flop, you will have to call his bet and call his shove on the turn. I would cbet a little smaller though.

Yeah ok. Thanks for the feedback. I agree with bigger 4bet. And OTF I thought I should go big given how wet the board is.

I would consider checking the flop simply because this board his our Call 3b range, not our 4b range, and we have the Ac.

As played, I don't like your sizing - as Samu said - 4b bigger, bet smaller otf.

You could also XC the turn given you probably don't really fear many rivers, and it allows him to take a stab with a hand like KQs or AQss/AKss + the hands that are calling you are probably calling most rivers anyway (or might shove the turn for protection/thin value).

I'm really unsure of this one, though, so I'd like to hear some thoughts, guys!

idk, checking the turn just screams KK+ inducing floats, since I wouldnt expect many players to cbet/giveup AK. But I might be giving the villain too much credit.

Checking the flop is an option I guess, but at the end of the day, we have an overpair in 4bp in nl10, no reason to get fancy I think.

Fwiw I like Hero's line. I'd bet a little bit smaller otf, but not by a huge margin.

Preflop is fine if villain starts calling SCs vs this sizing, which I think that a lot of weaker villains significantly widen their flatting range vs a smaller sizing.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, B-B is obviously a very std and good line, but I just wanted to hear some thoughts on different ones.

Depends how the Villain perceives it, but yeah, I think you're right.
It's just the fact that given the price pre, he prob has all combos of KQ which might shove but can't call when shoved into.

Anyway, yes, I'm prob overthinking this one. ;)
