I turn mine hand in to 4bet bluff bc its bottom part of mine calling range... ON flop I assumed his continuing range is strong so I was thinking of mine hand as eather bluff catcher or folding... When he check his range in my mind was something like AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, AQ, AJ, AK, KQ, in that spot, Mine KJ, was like bluff catch for a lot of hands except AA, AK, when I turn J, on river, I was beeting even that hands, so I went for all in for aditional value... Was any of this good?

I think you overplayed your hand pre flop and missplayrd it post flop.
Rebluff may be good if not the coldcaller.
Villain coldcalled 3 bet and a 4 bet. He has more PPs than that.
On the flop- bet!

Hey DV,

Pre-flop I think calling or folding are your best options (in that order) and 4 betting is a poor option. I think you are right that KJ typically makes a fair hand to 4bet bluff as it has solid blockers but BB's cold-call is so suggestive of pocket pairs and premium suited aces that I think this a bad spot.

River is pretty close but is just a call I think - as I see it, the only worst hand that calls your river raise is AK of which there are only 8 combos vs 4*3 combos of sets = 12 + 1*KK = 13. That is a pretty rough estimate but enough I think to edge you towards just calling. I think you are too strong to fold, however.

Hi DjolusVicenus

With BB cold calling the 4-bet I think you can just fold preflop unless you expect he is really wide and you can take advantage of his tendencies to fold.

As played you could just cbet the flop small there.
