Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with A :club: 2 :club:
3 folds, BTN raises to $1, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, BTN raises to $10, Hero raises to $59, 1 fold

V is a reg 21/17 over 1.8k hands, steal from BTN 70, fold to 3bet from BTN 73, 4bet range BTN 12(22), fold to 5bet 100(3).

This is my first 5bet shove as a bluff.
Probably its fine because of this opponent.

How should look like a 5bet bluff range ? A2s-A5s ?
I heared something about baby PPs 22-55, but i dont 3bet with that pairs.

How big should be villains 4bet range to 5bet profitably ?

Hi danny27dt

Preflop: there are a couple of things to consider here.

A) what's your equity if called by his value range
B) once you know A you can calculate your FE in this spot (give it a shot).

Generally these suited hands play well as a 5-bet bluff because if called you still have quite a bit of equity (and you block Ax). Baby pairs or pairs in general also have decent equity vs a value range.

We have ~30% EQ if get called by a range of QQ+,AK.

We are risking 49$ to win a pot of .75 + 1 + 4 + 10, so it is 49/(49+16) = 75%.

So if he folds more than 75% we have an instant profit.

But we dont know how often he will fold.
What did i miss ? What should we take into account ?
Im confused.

Ok I'm not the best in this. Just trying to use logic to find an answer to this question.

I think he'll call with JJ and TT too when its a BU vs BB situation if he's 4betting so wide. That's around 3.5%

That is still just 1/3rd of his 4bet range. We still have 30% equity against this range.

So he'll fold 2/3 times and when he does call our equity is 30%.

So out of 3 scenarios we will make:

(Insta profit) + (30% of pot when called)

$32 + 32.4 = $64.4

So its a +EV move. Like I said though, I've just tried to make sense out of this and not entirely sure if I've taken everything into consideration.

This becomes even more profitable when he's just 100bb though cause our make 62$ there and we're investing lesser.

Given the small sample we have on his 4-bets (22 hands) I wouldn't expect that 12% 4-bet range to actually be accurate.

@danny:

The 75% is considering you have 0 equity but this is not a spot where you have 0 equity because there are only 2 outcomes. He folds and we win, he calls and we have X equity.

So when looking for the FE needed you have to account for your equity. So give it another shot (the number should be way smaller) :)

The effectiv stack (how much i push) is 49$.

I have ~30% EQ when get called.

Current pot size is 16$.

So according to FEQ calculator ''Villain must fold 48.0519480519% of the time to be 0EV''

Is that correct ?

That sounds better than the 75% thought initially.

It's still 1 in 2 hands but much more likely that it will succeed.
