Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with Q :spade: Q :heart:
UTG raises to $0.06, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.18, 3 folds, UTG raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.32

Flop: ($1.03) K :club: 9 :heart: 4 :diamond: (2 players)
UTG bets $0.69, Hero folds

Yes, i know.. In the videos i watch i see the players just shoving all in here and its fine. No difficult decisions postflop like this.. But the problem is on Nl2 my experience is that if they 4bet from such early positions they always have KK+. I dont know.. what is your experience on these limits? maybe nl5 included too..

If you feel confident to call a 4bet or make a 5bet for value against UTG make a 3bet. If you don't I would prefer just calling pre If I were you

I would call pre and not 3bet vs UTG unless he opens wide(vs pfr18 nit I would just call pre)

As played we have to almost always fold on Kxx and Axx boards without reads.

So you also think a 5bet allin shove is too risky vs UTG 4b on NL2? on which limits is it okay? Nl10+ ?

Against a reg I wouldn't go AI in these positions. If somebody is 4betting a lot from UTG I would just call IP. But OOP its ok to play 3bet/5bet. If you are in SB for example you can easily 3bet/5bet shove against an aggressive reg.
So if you have a few hands about your opponent, no matter if he looks like aggressive or not I would just flat pre. If he is aggressive on the long run only then I would make a 3bet

It is call pre flop if we dont have any reads on him that he calls 3bets lite.
As played flop is fold.
There is no limits where villan from UTG should 4bet QQ, AK as standart game plan. Only AA and bluff like AJ or 98s.

I do not like the 3b preflop. Flat is fine.
As played you can call once and fold vs more aggression.

preflop is fine .. can go both ways.. if he is too nitty just call it ... but vs most 3bet is correct

calling 4bet ip / never jam over his 4bet unless he is shortwhale..

Flop sad expo fold..

I would flat preflop. You could call one street here even if there is a overcard.
