Hey Hellias

I would fold this given the action of the button.

When he 4 bet's so big, at micros he is folding here a very small percantage of the time here.

People play pretty honest at this level.

When he 4 bets (at this level), especially this big, his range is AA, KK, sometimes Queens and sometimes AK.

I'm also slightly concerned about the cold call from the BB.

If he has queens or AK, given rake this is a -EV call at this level. Basically the rake is so big as a % of the pot, it is just not profitable to call on a race.

In this particular example, most times we are not racing here and are up versus Aces or Kings.

AK is brilliant in tournies late on when stacks are quite shallow, it's a brilliant hand to 3 bet shove. Sometimes it can be overplayed at cash, at the end of the day it is only Ace high.

We have to think are they ever 4 betting AQ AJ? Seldom ever at this level.

Good luck!

Hi hellias

I actually think that this is closer to a fold 3 way and 125 deep with Btn. Unless you think btn can 4bet bluff that big or stack off light.
