Hi,
I think 4bet is not good VS ranges AK+,JJ+. If we call preflop, we call Flop with top pair and fold to Turn if villain bet again. how do you play it preflop and postflop?
Thanks.

Hi J,

You probably are not aggressive enough to 4bet this and get called by all the random crap he 3bets plus he probably doesn't 3bet a whole lot of random crap. I'd say calling and playing a flop is the way to go. On the flop, you treat your hand like a bluffcatcher basically.. Overpair is good to call, middlepair not so much, if you flop a set then you have the nuts.

if we call 3bet preflop, then we have overpair,
1)do we raise villain C-bet if the flop is wet?
2)how many street we can bluffcatch? do we ready to go broke?

We don't have read on villain.

Thanks.

1) No, we have a mediocre hand most often, we wouldn't raise. If any wet flop hits his range so much that protection is an issue, you have a clear 4bet preflop.
2) Usually one, people give up on AK after they get called on the flop but only continue with KK+.

I am not sure with "you have a clear 4bet preflop". Do you mean if we want to raise Flop then we should 4Bet preflop?
Thanks.

What I meant is that if on any flop you can raise against his range, it means his preflop range is wide enough to warrant a preflop 4bet. If you think his preflop range is like QQ+, AK why would you raise any flop? If his range preflop is like TT+, AK, or say JJ+, AK, KTs, K9s, KJs, AJo, etc why not 4bet and benefit a lot from all the equity he folds plus have close to a 0EV call vs the shove (vs TT+, AK you don't want FE but yeah)? Those are basically the 2 scenarios you have him. Let me know if it's clearer now. :)
