      I don't really like the preflop call here considering those stats, specially considering it is a 4bet (counting the min-raise, ofc).

      If you put him on the top 5% range (88+, AJs+, KQs, AKo) your equity is ~60%, but considering the 4bet it's not crazy to put his range as JJ+, AQs+, AKo... in this case your equity drops to 49.4%... I wouldn't call.

      Wtith this strong 4bet line i think he 90% of the time will have AKs or KK, AA.. In this spot i think you have to desside to fold or shove, but you can't just call.. That would be mistake, if like Turn will drop K or something like that.
      If opponent has AA,KK he will call you on the flop shove, i will hope he's in front.. And i think you have to do it, that's +ev..

      I think tieppofer has hit the nail on the head. He's only playing the top 5% of hands and has 4bet? I'm putting him on KK+, AK. Walk away and let him have the pot.

      Hello prisly87,

      Preflop: You ain't really getting good odds here and often times making just mistakes postflop. Rather fold it here.

      As played
      Postflop: What else than go broke? :) Wasn't that the purpose of calling vs his 3bet -> when we hit we go broke.

      Best Regards.
