PokerStars - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 352.92 BB
CO: 44.6 BB (Since < 100BB I assume bad/passive.)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♦ K♠

Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, CO raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 27 BB, CO calls 18 BB

Flop: (55.4 BB, 2 players) 4♦ J♣ 3♣
Hero bets 17.6 BB, CO calls 17.6 BB and is all-in

PF: CO who I assume is bad/passive 3-bets (non min-bet so possibly he is bad/aggressive).

I have an easy 4-bet for value because I know this type of player will make big calls with high pairs and high cards.

However, I think against this player I can get away with shoving and put most of my money in when I'm crushing his equity.

Hi,

If you know he is going to make big calls the best move is of course to shove all in. but i think that is too scary, i prefer making a larger than normal 4bet to encourage him to call all his crap and weaker hands before betting the flop.

it gives him a chance to spew pre flop anyway.

raising pre flop to something like 20bb looks good enough for him to possibly spew or call a super wide range.

Thanks
