After a truly crushing -13 buy in session at 50NL zoom last night I have come to question the premise of my play completely. I've always been laggy and to date it's put me in good stead, but at 50/100NLHE now the 3bet 4 bet wars between button and blinds seem to be getting a bit ridiculous.
Last night I lost 7 coin flips and got sucked out on twice based on button vs blind spots and am wondering now if there is any point 4betting when on the button. More often than not it ends in a flip and the times it doesn't (AA vs KK etc.) surely just balance each other out. If we assume standard practice after a 3bet from the blinds is to 4bet the best and worst of our range and call/fold the middle parts then can we not just call with our top and middle part of the range and play post flop. We have more value hands so can subsequently bluff with higher frequency post flop and villain struggles to remove cards (or incorrectly removes them) from our range. I've noticed this is a play taken more and more by the regs and was wondering if anyone can explain why it's best to still have a 4bet range or if there are any discussions on this.
