Hmm what's the motivation for calling 4bets OOP w/ K3s?

And you just played into his hands and apparently got lucky. But it won't always be like that if you do that in these spots.

Nice chip vomit.

Btw the way to beat someone who is too aggressive is to have a good hand and let him over play his. K3 is not a good hand.

I'm just a little confused man. K3s really can't be in too many 3bet bluff ranges and I guess if you REALLY think he's wide you might as well shove. Shoving is better than calling his 4bet OOP. You're never going to make correct decisions post-flop with K3s. It's just too hard.

Advice: Pick better spots to 3bet bluff.

I'm typically 3bet-folding this hand in a BB vs BTN war. If I was going to flat his 4bet, it would only be to spike a King or a flush draw and then check-shove the flop. I'm never betting this turn, only check-folding all 3 streets and hoping to somehow reach and win at showdown with my pair of 3's.

From personal experience, I've found that 5NL players on pokerstars tend to take their blind wars (BB vs BTN, BB vs SB) very seriously and often 4bet-stackoff light, much moreso than they do at 2NL and 10NL. I've had players call a 4bet with 88 and even call a 5bet shove with ATo!
