4bet bluff pot

Hi GreenPiece

Preflop: Your 4-bet is a bit on the big side given the open+3bet size and you have to be careful that people will call more 4-bets in spots like this where SPR is better (due to either stack sizes or raise sizes). So if you see a lot more calls have more playable hands or depolarize your range.

Postflop: As played giving up is fine.

So my logic is not flawless, I see... Can you please give a simple guideline on how to avoid these situations? My thinking on the river should be: oh, he has a very strong range by calling 4bet OOP, I must be very careful and with low pair I still beat only some of hands. Smth like this, right?

I don't think I would 4bet a 17/12 guy without a 3b sample.
Rather fold until i have some more info otherwise you get into a lot of these situations

Sample is very low, imo we can't rely on it here. It's not smth I usually do with A4o, I usually fold and now decided to experiment a bit. Cause these situations @ NL25 and @ NL50 are a bit different so now I want to get the best readless approach vs multitablers at this very limit because imo things are more simple @ NL25 where I came from.

The first way to avoid these spots is to have a pre-built range for scenarios like this (for 4-bet pots). Also the raise size is important.

And if you get called the best thing to do is not spew there which is very easy to do ( a lot of people level themselves into thinking that they absolutely need to bluff their stack away once their 4-bet gets called).
