4-bet bet sizing?

unknown_username

Firstly, hand is irrelevant. I have AK he has KK. Meh, c'est la vie!

Can we please discuss the general consensus on mainly 4 bet betsizing but may as well throw 3 bet betsizing in too just for clarification.

The only other thing i could add is that i do occassionally 4 bet bluff with complete air against the right players so i am not just 4 betting for value all of the time.

As a general rule i usually make the 4 bet around 2.x- />3.0 times the 3 bet. I lean more to the 2.x due to me bluffing sometimes so it keeps it consistant and allowing me to bluff ever so slightly cheaper.

Discuss please, and please dont necessarilly just discuss this particular hand but also the concept of 4 betting and its sizing and also 4 bet bluffing.

Wouldnt 4 bet bluff this level no point, ppl dont really consider anything other then their hand most the time

In general i dont think there is a specific amount you should be 3-4 betting as it should be player dependent, but as consistent as possible

4 bet to around 25bb

Is this not a 5-bet or am i missing something?

This is a 5bet.

I'd normally go something like 3/9/24 big blinds for open, 3bet, 4bet but obviously using that 4bet sizing relies on the villian not doing wierd 3bet sizing and also increase if others have flatted the 3bet before you've got round to 4betting.

I might go a bigger bigger with your 3bet
