Although my position was bit early, against 11 % range, should I shove?

Hi.

This is a preflop cooler. A few things to consider here...

1) Your opening range
2) Your perceived 4bet range (does it contain some bluffs?)
3) Villain's 3bet range

If your open range is loose, villain's 3bet range is likelier to be high, which would in turn make you want to 4bet bluff with uncallable hands like AJo and KQo.

Thus villain could be incentivized to shove lighter. But I think we can safely assume that this guy has a value range of JJ+/AK, and most of our profit with our 4bet comes from folding to our 4bet.

Thanks.
