I really think 5-betting here is a spew. I highly doubt villian will get it in with a wide range enough to make this profitable,even if you have been running over the table. I think it would be kinda sick as a bluff though.

I probably flat the 4-bet and play a pot in position here.

Stork = generally tight. Doubt his 4 bet is just due to being annoyed at your 3bets. 4 bet oop like this from him is almost always the nuts

big 5b would be nice. i dont mind flatting too much either in pos but still prefer 5b since still under 200 bbs

why would you like to make the 5bet big? if we make it any bigger than we did we can never bluff as we're committing ourselves?

What are you talking about? you say its a spew and then say it would be a sick bluff.. its totally contradictory.

How so?

i think its better when your running the table to be alleggedly committing yourself with a wide range rather '5b bluff' a wide range :| . plus if hes tight its unlikely hes reshoving as a bluff but its possible he'll stick like TT/JJ/AK/AQs in a lot easier

i don't really get your logic ;/
i dont think he has like TT/JJ/AQs very often at all. i think his range is very polarised most of the time between between bluffs and AK/QQ+ and i want him to be able to 6bet shove his bluffs, which he cant really do if i make it whatever more

I rarely disagree with you, but your logic here is too much level-driven. I try not to get into those leveling games much anymore, as its the easiest way to lose a lot.
GT-optimal play says to flat.

Edit: This reply is to PoorUser if its not obvious.

a small raise gets his range of air to play correctly

wat

opposed to flat calling, which is what im advocating.

and raising big is by far the worst option.

I think the small 5bet is best here.

Im not a huge fan of flatting cuz ur going to have to fold to cbets on A and K high flops and I'm not too comfortable stacking off on rag flops.

You HAVE to fold ? I don't get how I have to fold anything to a cbet with pos.

his range is too strong for you to be calling on those types of flops

even if you figure to be ahead 40ish% of the time its still a bad call since he can bluff the turn or draw out on you.

i'd rather just 5-bet bigger, no one is ever going to believe that you're 5 bet bluffing/fodling to shove, so making it smaller just looks stronger than you want to look imo

well more than contradictory its just dumb since he has been running over the table so bad he thinks his QQ could be good that deep yet you mention it as a bluff like KK would ever fold.

ive never even heard of a 6bet shove before
wtf?
