    Wouldn't worry so much about coolers they happen, can maybe find a fold here with qq against alot of the regs depends on reads, you did flat a 7 pound 4bet against me with 79s a little while ago so maybe your playing too loose in other pots? or was you just tilting?

    tbh i done that just to mix it up, i was going card dead and thought if i hit any part of the board i will get paided off, ill admit that flop was brilliant.

    Yeah but is it a bad beat? thats what im asking, or is it just not a +ev situation? u rarely see jj shown and even when its ak your only a flip

    What's villains 3b range

    What range do you think continues when you 4b

    Answering these questions should tell you the correct line

    You're still not answering the questions GT mentioned, and these are what will give you the answer. You have to think about why you're doing what you're doing.

    If you think that when you 4bet, he is only ever gonna call or 5bet get it in with KK and AA, then what's the point in 4betting? If you think he'll get it in with AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK, maybe TT, then you can 4bet and get it in.

    Assuming he's not a massive nit, he'll probably be 3betting AK, AQ, TT+ and some SCs like JTs, 9Ts, 89s etc, so we can just flat and play against a range we crush.

    So if we're 4betting knowing he will only continue with hands that crush us, why would we 4bet?

    Now it's down to you whether you have reads or not. If we're readless, then I don't mind 4bet getting it in, or flatting the 3bet, but you need to making notes on what people are 3/4/5betting

    True, I think his range is narrow. There wasn't a point in 4 bettin if ur thinking of it like that. But if I flat because 4 betting will. Get action from hands I'm losing too arnt I effectively set mining? Also what do I do when the flop come 2 4 8, just c/f?

    it`s totally dependant on your opponent if the guy is very tight I prob just flat the 3bet in position and take it from there see what flops comes and how they react to flop.

    but yeah if you put him on a very tight range no point 4betting m8

    "...QQ, im obv overrating the hand?"

    ^This is your problem!

    Not that you're overrating hands but that you're thinking about the absolute value of your hand. You need to think about the relative value of your hand. You have to judge your hand's strength against your opponent's range, not just think "I have QQ! Yipee!!"

    This hand is very reminiscent of another hand you posted a few weeks ago. You weren't thinking about how your hand played against that opponent's range either. Instead of repeating myself I'll just link it up. My thoughts remain the same.

    This one.

    No I do think of range against range but I still have the 3rd best hand I have to think of that also.

    No you don't. You think about your opponent's range first.

    Then you think "Does my hand beat that range?" If your opponent's range is only AA and KK, then the fact that QQ is the third best hand in poker is totally irrelevant.

    If you opponent's range is really wide, then JJ and TT may also be beating him, so again the fact that QQ is the third best hand in poker is irrelevant.

    The only thing that's relevant is how your hand plays against your opponent's range. Forget that QQ is the third best possible hand because it's never relevant on it's own.

    Robbie,
    i'm no expert,obviously,but for me i'm only ever going to be getting around 100 bb in with KK or AA
    and i'm sure there must be many others that think the same way.

    to be getting QQ in I would need very good reads on opponent and even then I would be getting it in reluctantly,as these players can and do get KK & AA dealt too.


    I don't know the stats regarding getting QQ aipf but i'm guessing it must be a close call as to a fold.

    :)

    If you are beaten by his 3betting range fold (or possibly call and set mine in this case as you prob have implied odds)

    If you are ahead of his 3bet range but behind the part of this range that continues to a 4bet then call and play postflop

    If you beat the part of his range that continues to a 4bet and you think this range is big enough to make it more profitable than calling then 4b/c

    If you flat the 3bet you are not neccesarily just set mining , just make the best decision using what you know about his range given his postflop actions board texture etc
