      I'm not SH player, but I think 4bet it without shoving, because he's not maniac raiser, so 3bet could mean anything - good hand as well as defense. If he shoves after your 4bet - imho it's fold.

      Hi,


      I'm almost concerned that you're actually bluffing with QQ in that spot against a 27/12/1.7, depending on whether he's capable of 3-betting light as a resteal or not.

      I think as a default these days you're better off making a smaller 4-bet to around $3, to give SB a chance to shove on his own if he happens to have one of the few hands you actually beat.

      I wouldn't mind you just calling either if he has a 3bet% of 0, since you have position and it's unclear whether you can actually 4bet for value. Just do that instead if you're thinking about 4bet/folding.


      Hope it helps.
