BTN mucks Q♦ T♦ (Two Pair, Queens and Jacks) (Pre 34%, Flop 21%, Turn 14%)
Hero wins 195.5 BB

3bet vs CO 8%, 0/1 ft4b, in general people dont fold in party poker, so I use 2x 4bet (to keep their range even wider) and value heavy range, is it ok?

Should I bet flop larger on draw heavy board? Shove flop? I thought I dont need to protect vs gutshots.

Hi GingerKid

Definitely ok to 4-bet more for value but if they don't fold to 4-bets I don't see a need to make it even smaller unless it has a drastic change on their %s (and in that case they wouldn't be calling/raising to 4-bets a lot to begin with).

Postflop looks fine. No need to bet larger or even overbet there.

I 4bet 2x, because I want to do it with TT+, AJo, AQo, AK, A2s-A9s so mostly playable hands and the ones which dominate his call range, thats why I make it smaller, also to have more playability postflop.

Do you think I should put A2s-A9s?

More playability is always good but how has he reacted in 4-bet pots so far?

Can we add even more value and remove the easily dominated Ax hands?

He reacts by calling wider and shoving premiums so it looks as
a good spot to make him cappt.

Yeh, exactly.

So that's good for us to valuetown him quite a bit and avoid running too many bluffs.
