Thank you for posting

So what would the range of hands be that the CO 4 bets? We answer this question by knowing the CO's play or if no data on CO using a range for a standard villain in this spot.

Your 3 bet from SB should be a strong range so we can estimate a standard 4 bet range as

TAG range AA KK QQ JJ AK/s AQ/s AJs

LAG range includes 4 bet fold to shove hands but not common at this buy-in level often the lags call to hit as the BB called already so there are 2 players to bet out not one.

Versus that range we can fold the TT.

At this stake level 4.5x or more from SB may be a more effective sizing to compensate for being OOP with TT.

Hope this helps

You will rarely see a 4-bet bluff at 2NL, and he used very large sizing as well, which makes it difficult for you to get away postflop on low boards. And you are out of position. So I like this laydown a lot. I would have used a larger sizing to begin with though. 3X is fine in position, but out of position your default size should be 4X in a cash game.

Depends on your player pool but at least for where I play (ACR 2NL) I think a 4-bet from an unknown player is weighted towards QQ+ and AK. I would only continue with TT here against specific aggro rec players that are capable of taking this line and then calling off a 5-bet jam with a worse range, something like AA-66,AKs-A5s,KQs-KTs,QJs,AKo-AQo,KQo. And TT still only has 55% equity against this range.

Yes, it was a correct decision here. You have the worst position at the table and are facing a 4-bet. However, when you 3-bet smaller than the standard size, the 4-bet range of your opponents who have position over you is widened by default. The possibility of the latter happening increases when you could have the image of a weaker player, since you are the effective stack at the table. Make sure you are not seen as a suspicious player, since in these cases you are more likely to be a victim of exploitations on the preflop.

Folding TT seems like a tight disciplined fold. CO 4 bet range should have JJ+, AK, AQ-ATs. CO might have few bluffs with A5s-A4s.

Depends on CO 4-bet %. At 2NL, cold 4-bet should be value heavy and nutted. So folding TT doesn't seem bad.

Basically, in the NL2 level, the 4-bet range is very narrow, and your TT is basically suppressed.
Your position is not good, even if the set is turned over, it is not easy to get the value.
Folding before the flop is a good decision.
