CO is a 28/22, 14% 3-bet rate over 130 hands
BTN is a 24/19, 5.2% 3-bet rate reg over 1.6k hands who I have a lot of spewy history with.
SB is a 20/17, 12.1% 3-bet rate reg over 620 hands.

My image is laggy, and I've been running 26/25 or so, and I've made some obviously bluffy folds (bet like 16$ on the turn, folded when I had to call like 9 more $).

This table was exceptionally tough, and was full of regs. I probably should have gotten up, but whatever, shenanigans are fun.

Hero (BB): $35.99 (144 bb)
UTG: $45.43 (181.7 bb)
MP: $37.93 (151.7 bb)
CO: $39.29 (157.2 bb)
BTN: $40.63 (162.5 bb)
SB: $24.04 (96.2 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is BB with J

UTG calls $0.25, MP folds, CO raises to $1.10, BTN calls $1.10, SB raises to $4.90, Hero raises to $12.50....


How'd I do?

I like it! Don't play alot of 6-max but seems like an obvious squeeze situation from small blind so I would think your 4Bet would work often enough for it to be profitable. Wow just noticed how did your table get so deep almost everyone has like 150 bb's.

So yah I really like the move, might make it slightly larger but guess it's irrelevant as villain will realize that he probably has no fold equity and therefore is never going to be 5Bet bluffing.

If you're gonna do this, then this is the absolute perfect time to try it. SB is in perfect position to squeeze and he 3bets 12.1% which is super super wide. CO has to fold everything except KK+ as well.

That's what happens when you get 6 regs together who run ~25/20ish or so. Stacks fly.

Actually, I wouldn't put it past some of these guys to jam TT or something. I'm probably calling a shove I guess... And the CO is certainly not folding QQ here. JJ maybe...

Well I guess they could be 5Betting TT or something like that for value given the history. I just mean that the small blind has to know that he has like no fold equity against you.

However I guess the BTN or CO could potentially get tricky as the stacks are much deeper but I doubt they would be getting crazy with the SB still behind.

And ya, I would probably leave this game. There are PLENTY of fishy tables out there. But I know the feeling it's sometimes fun to get into reg battles lol.
