The Leveling Wars, Episode IV: Small Blind x Big Blind - Stealing Ranges
In these 6max tables I'd rather go for a 4bet. Considering that BB was prepared to 3bet with 56s proves that we can safely go for a 4bet most of the time.
As for post flop, I don't quite understand the check-raise on the flop, and I definitely don't understand check raise the turn.
If you did raised the flop, then why not lead the turn? I mean, any decent, even average player, will not bet turn like your opponent did with bottom 2P, then will likely check back. And another thing, what do you do if your opponent jams?
To summarize:
I would 4bet pre. The way it was played pre, check-call flop, check-call turn, see what happens on the river.
The way it was played on the flop, turn bet should be mandatory IMO.
There is a cool video from Bencb on youtube, where he plays zoom 100NL and there you can see how often and how wide he re-raises in 6max zoom tables
Thanks for the recommendation of the video, very interesting. We can notice that average regulars of 100 NLHE are opening 100% range from SB versus BB, when it comes in gap.
Because they have an absolute well developed postflop gameplan plus emotional control and a decent
bankroll.
BB is going to fold too much, but, being a regular of the field that your fellow table mates are opening 100% from SB to steal the blinds. The player in the BB widens its 3-bet range for value from 15% to 25% range of 3-betting light.
The SB blind also knows that the player of the BB is going to widen its 3-bet light range, specially because it has position postlop. This way SB widens its 4-bet light range from 4% to 8% and some cases, even 15% of 4-bet light range, depending on how weak/spewy/whale the player of the BB is.
I agree the 4-bet would be better here, because AQ is out of position. If the situation were on the other side I guess that calling would work fine in a 50/50 frequency. Calling 3-bet out of position put us in danger places like this.
IF SB 4-bets versus BB for VALUE, because the 3-bet light range of the BB player is wild. IF this guy is 3-betting/stealing preflop with combos of 65s, we can really wide our 4-bet light range. In this case it would be a 4-bet for value, and BB would call down anyways, because know BB will looks like an idiot if it folds to a 4-bet in position now.
