I don't play FR, but I think:
- 4 bet PF, can't be scared of AA...

Check-raise is okay.

I do not see what reason in the world do you have to be at that table. Ask yourself. Where do your profit will come from when you are seating at a table?

4-bet pre, X/F any A high flop. Stack almost any other board. Easy money Alfie, easy money.

Money comes from endless blind stealing and cbetting. That helped me a lot when I was just starting.

Agree with SM, especially about preflop. Go for it.

That works at lower stakes, but if you do it too much high up you are very exploitable.

I know, it doesn't work even in 5NL. But in 2NL it is the path to easy money vs nitty players. Nitty works well so they have no incentive to adjust at all.

with KK AA or QQ u want to get the money in preflop, so a 4bet is the best thing to do, u hope to get it all preflop, he may have AK and u lost alot of money.

Think you play it very very well with that line. His 3b range is prob 1010+/AJs and your c/r can represent lots of draws that he would rather shove against. That said, you're not trying to balance your range w/ light 4 bets vs flatting pre...you are OOP with a premium at 1/2c so I prefer just 4 betting and c-betting flop.

Easy 4B for me and I'm thinking a nitty table like that would be pretty easy to play but kinda boring....

Definitely 4bet pre. Don't get tricky at NL2. It is totally counter-productive.

People on average have way higher steal rates at higher stakes games compared to lower stake games. You have to be a more complete player at higher stakes in order to be able to win, alot more aggressive dynamic all around.
