Hello,

This is one of the first hands and I had no real information about anyone on the table.

I think the 3bet for value vs BTN is pretty standart, but what we do when we get a cold 4bet? The sizeing is pretty big and I think he is more likely doing it for value, and we prolly have no FE here.

Can we fold that spot, or cuz its suited we could just stack off?

Hi all,

I'm folding here, though it's pretty gross to. Cold 4bets are generally very strong from fish. We can conclude he's a fish from his sizing. So vs a range of something like JJ+ AKs, AKo, we have only 42.8%. To get it in we need 2680/6000 = 44.7%. I also think the bigger 55 is a tournament where we should apply some ICM tax to ourselves, given that it's extremely soft. So I'd say we need closer to 50% here to get it in.
