$1.05 pot ($0.04 rake)
Final Board: 2 T 4
Hero mucked K Q and lost (-$0.50 net)
SB mucked and won $1.01 ($0.51 net)

The guy had 13percent 3 bet statistics so i thought he is on bluff. Should i fold, call or 4 bet? If 4 bet how much?

If he 3-bets that much, you could try to even 4-bet bluff. Otherwise, your possibilities are to call that 3bet and call flop if you hit.

On the contrary: does he always cbet when 3-bet pot? Is he cbetting 2streets? If not, even floating could be an option here.

The safest line, after all, is to check/fold this, if called pre-flop.

Hi,

I think raise/call pre-flop is fine- you can always 4-bet bluff, but it is better imo to call pre-flop ip and keep in dominated hands. I would likely raise/fold flop with my backdoor draws and overcards. If he has there overcards then he would likely just b/f and even 88 is not that happy seeing 2.1$ raise on that flop

best regards,
