I 4bet cold KQs, AJs, AQo since party became lately full of too aggro 3bettors (which is apsurd because people rarely fold vs 3bets).
This hand was out of my range because I thought this guy is more agro than usual but saw late that he has small sample.

Is postflop ok purely exploitable? Or better cbet small?

Hi GingerKid

100 BB deep you could make it smaller.

You say people rarely fold to 3-bets so does that imply that they rarely fold to 4-bets as well? Afaik they don't like folding to those either.

I rather cbet small on such a board. you can valuetown a lot of hands there imo even for 3-streets.

They actually give a lot of credit vs 4bet cold, call from time to time and play very honest postflop, so I 4bet cold a lot especially vs late positions and I think it works the best over all segments in game.
I target only agro 3bettors, and even wider when villian vs 3bet was folds a lot vs 3bet because then I expect wider 3bet range.

Makes sense,

So when you do get called one of two things happen.

1) The villain is adjusting or is looser
2) Their range is actually strong since you expect them to fold a lot.

Based on what you said in the last reply I'd imagine the average would be #2 so we can't actually go too crazy postflop without some info/better assumptions.
