Small 4bet, AA or KK........lol thats my new theory anyways.

Fold! What's his f3bet like? This might just be a fold to the original raise!

Definitely get your hands on a good equity calculator. This should be a super simple answer for you if you put in what his range is.

Ace Poker Drills Poker Equity Calculator
Board:

Equity Win Tie Hand Range
63.4415% 41.158% 22.2836% [ KK+(100), AKs(100),QQ(40),AKo(75) ]
36.5585% 14.2749% 22.2836% [ KcAs ]

The question I have here is what range is he 4 betting me with, given a call to his bet and my - possible - squeeze. If he is 4 betting me wider, say 6.% it is a coin flip here. Is his 4 bet range in this situation really that tight? Obv. with KK+, AKs and weighted QQ, AKo I am behind, but can I not be 3 betting wide enough here for him to keep a lot of his opening range in his 4 bet, since he must believe he has a lot of FE?

I think thats far too much thought for 10nl, given that its 6max, i think at best we're against QQ. He's a nit so I'm not liking a shove, flipping at best, and certainly not calling, so its a fold for me.

NIT's by definition don't think like this. And especially 10nl NITs.

That's why I was saying it's a pretty easy punch into the old equity calculator. I'd suggest if you're struggling with putting in a hand range, then lead with that question when you post so you'll get the most feedback directly to the issue you're struggling with most.

Good that you're thinking through the spot like this though, but don't level yourself.

Thanks.

I guess cliffs for both your responses would be:

Nits gonna nit....lol

I did put this up higher than it needed to be, I see that now. I guess 90 hands is enough to just take 10/8 at face value. I need to act on the info I have, which in this case, on retrospect, was pretty face up, and not try to out think villain, who aint thinking that far anyway.....

Hand reading is a big problem for me. I get surprised way too much, like "he has xx,xx,xx range" then he flips over yy......
