BB is 23/18 so far , 3bet 14%, SQ 15% on 184 hands. Just 3bet the hand before too. Dont have a clue if he 5bet shoves worse here.

SB is a 35/18 coldcalling alot in this spot but folding 73% to 3bets (11 sample)

My question is if a call or a 4bet/call is better here. It would be great if you could give your reasoning for either one. thanks!

I think against someone who is capable of 3b/Squeezing light, 4b call is probably fine here.

Main thing that makes me hesitate is size of squeeze - 5x is pretty big. I'm not sure if this is std on 200 vs 2.5bb BU oR, but it seems a lot to me. May make me suspicious. On the other hand, this may be AK (just wants to take it down pre) in which case we can get it in ofc.

If we call, we should do so becuase we hope SB comes along. But the squeeze is so big I dont think he will that often which means we have to extract squeezer's whole stack when we flop a set. I.e we call $20 with $180 behind so we have 9:1 which is probably not enough.

So, I like to 4b/call this or fold. If we flat call Sqz it's mostly becuase we think we're ahead of 3bettors range and if that's correct we should just 4b/call since we can make mistakes postflop (when we fold best hand to cb on AJx flop for instance)

I like to 4bet/call in this spot.

In case he has a polarized range we'd not be able to extract much value vs the bluffingpart anyway so I'd rather call hands that can dominate some of his bluffs.

You could also argue that since he rarely hits a strong hand with the bluffingpart you can bluffcatch postflop, but with TT you're rarely in a spot where you feel confident calling several barrels.
Also in case SB overcalls you'll rarely be able to play postflop (ofc you could also argue you were able to call for setvalue in this case).

Another pro for the 4bet is, that he appears to be pretty aggro and therefore he might 5betbluff sometimes.
Additionally he might back off from squeezing when he recognizes we're willing to 4bet/call hands like TT because he doesn't have as much foldequity - if we call we have to fold postflop oftentimes which might encourage him to squeeze even more.
