Hero (BTN): 101.5 BB
SB: 155.36 BB (VPIP: 22.22, PFR: 22.22, 3Bet Preflop: 8.33, Hands: 27)

MP: 121.36 BB (VPIP: 17.92, PFR: 17.34, 3Bet Preflop: 14.29, Hands: 173)
CO: 50 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♦ 7♦

fold, MP raises to 2.54 BB, fold, Hero raises to 8 BB, fold, fold, MP raises to 18 BB, Hero raises to 98 BB, fold

Spoiler

Hero wins 37.5 BB

He opens 24% MP, and 4bet 60% in total (3/5 times). The hand just minute before, he called my 3bet also from MP with KK and at showdown we had both KK. I made a note that once he called my 3bet from BU with AA.

So when he 4bets now, and has pretty high 4bet%, I am going to shove any 2 hands until he adapts. What do you think? I know that there is not so much dead money but still I expect enough FE.
With KQ, AQ, AJ, KJ, QQ+ I would call his 4bet and shove after his cbet on non Ax Kx boards.

I usually try to avoid these spots, you never really know where you are, and it's quite marginal. I think better plan would be to call wider range, and play IP postflop against him. If you wan't to battle against him, then AXs is fine to 5 bet push, and also small pocketpairs. But to go, and start to 3 bet him with any two, and ship against him is not correct for sure.
I think it's fine to call pre with Axs, and all broadway suited hands.

Hey Mlatasrb,

Hand is potentially +EV.

Downside is that there is not much overlay + villain is MP and has a stronger range to begin with. It's definitely a useful read that villain slowplays premiums though as this may unbalance his 4bet range towards bluffs.

Variance is high, and you are getting the right price to defend this hand preflop and play IP so generally I take this option over shipping pf.
