UTG ($103.8BB) 104bb
UTG+1 ($100BB) 100bb
CO ($103.2BB) 103bb
BTN ($105BB) 105bb
SB ($42.6BB) 43bb
BB Hero ($100BB) 100bb
Pre-Flop: (1.4BB, 6 players) Hero is BB T♣: 5♣:

So I didnt participate in this hand but I found it interesting so I want to ask you guys about the play of the BTN. I will comment it as if I were the BTN.
Im often facing 4bet with QQ and I never know if I should go all in or only call. I preffer calling. If everyone is shoving QQ, KK, AA, AK, then I have better equity against them if Im shoving only KK, AA, AK. I dont know if thats a good strategy though.

2 folds, CO raises to 3BB, BTN raises to 9BB, 1 fold, Hero folds, CO raises to 23BB, BTN calls 14BB

Flop: 2♠: 8♥: 3♣: ($47.4BB, 2 players)
CO bets 27.6BB, BTN calls 27.6BB
Turn: 5♦: ($102.6BB, 2)
CO checks, BTN bets 24BB, CO goes all-in 52.6BB, BTN calls 28.6BB

This is a tricky spot for sure. What is CO 4betting preflop? KK, AA, AK? We beat only AK but then KK, AA should bet here so I guess betting is fine. We dont know what river is about to bring and if we check we give him a free card in case he holds AK. CO check/raises and that is a very strong line. I would prefer folding here as I dont see anything we beat but isnt it already pot commited? I think folding is better for sure.

River: J♥: ($207.8BB, 2), 1 all-in
Final Pot: $207.8BB
BTN shows a pair of Queens
Q♦: Q♥:
CO shows a pair of Kings
K♥: K♦:
CO wins $199.2BB (net +$96BB)
BTN lost $103.2BB

4-bet bluffs are almost non existent on NL5. Many players don't 4-bet even QQ and AK and I've seen some players just calling even with KK. I'll insta fold the queens, unless I know that the player is a crazy fish. In that case I'll shove them. Calling is the worst option IMO.

Pre-flop if I had QQ I would go broke or fold here, but most likely just going broke in a CO against BTN dynamic. Off course it depends on reads and stats of the player. The flop play seems standard of both of them, but not sure why the BTN would bet almost half his stack when he can easy push the turn with only a half pot bet left.

Cheers,
