Still aight equity, I went AI on flop AA v Q5o for 80bbs ina live tourney yesterday on a J9xr and lost to a runner runner straight -.-

Results would have been totally the same but I always wonder why people flat 4bets with AA. Is there a reason to flat pre? I'm asking honestly because I feel like it's something I would never do

Its all about calculating lost equity when he c/f s AK or AQ that he would stack off with when you shove + and an overcard to his KK QQ coming VS gained equity when he cbets/stack offs with a draw with hands that would fold to a shove

Ahhh ok that makes sense. ty

dont like having a call 4b range for 100bb

and dont like this if ur not calling 4bets like, all the time

deep on regular basis though i pretty much dont have a 5bet range IP, u can be alot thougher playing against oop if u flat a "balanced" range to 4bets

when i see this play from other regs at these low stakes i go like "ty for giving my range moneys sir"

also dont see why u wanna shove the flop t_t seems retarded, let him bluff shove good turns for him if he is totally airballing here on K turns for example, when he picks up a FD or w/e

I'm sure you can come up with scenarios when this would apply, this was a very specific example where I was folding a lot to 3bets with nitty image and he had 20% 3bet percentage in the BB.

With enough time spent you could construct equations for both and calculate ev to find a finer line (if you like math lol ;o)

and if he have QQ its not like hes just gonna go insta ch/fold on a K turn these stacks so ur not really giving up anything
