unknown, this hand is in my default 4bet range, probably not the best idea at nl2 Laugh , looks strong flop for us as we can rep QQ KK and he cant but apart of that have no idea whats his range here so I ck, turn he ck again, maybe we can bet turn?but do he folds his JJ TT 99 88 as turn pairs.

This pretty much sums it up. Especially vs an unknown player at zoom where ranges are tighter in general. What's your 4bet range in this spot?

Once you get to the flop this will be a pretty good one for you since many players just shove the hands that connect so a small cbet should be alright.

While it's a fine hand to include in your 4bet bluffing range I don't feel like it's wise to do it by default vs. NL2 unknown. Too many things can go wrong given the wide discrepancy between micro stakes villain's playing styles.

As played, this texture should, in theory, hit villain's 4bet calling range somewhat hard so I'm not a fan of stabbing at this.

You can pretty much get away with never 4 bet bluffing in a 2NL game. Certainly against unknowns in a player pool known for villains who hate folding in general. That said,it's obviously a decent hand choice to do it with.

As played with KK QQ AK mostly shoving pre, and having a backdoor flushdraw, c betting for about 1/3 pot looks good.Usually once I take this line I'm shoving any club turn, but up against an unknown it could be a bit ropey at 2NL.

Pre: I think 4bet bluffing at 2NL in general is a mistake, it is not necessary at all unless you have some solid information that villain is 3betting wide and then overfolding to 4bets (a rarity at 2NL)

Flop: I think we should be taking a stab at this pot, villain is going to have connected somewhat often here but he will also have misse with a decent number of JJ/TT type hands that will almost certainly fold to a small bet. Somewhere in the region of .30-.35c seems like it should turn a solid profit to me.

Turn: After checking back flop and it gets checked again to us I would be more convinced that villain doesn't have a massively strong hand so I would be betting the same amount I recommended on the flop for the same reasons.

River: After we check 2 streets we have missed our opportunity to win this hand I feel. The cool thing about betting earlier streets is that villain has to worry about bigger bets on later streets which is why you have so much fold equity vs his underpairs, I would be shocked if we get villain to fold with a bet on the river now as played.

It's ok to 4 bet if u think villain is 3 betting u in those positions, if u got info and u decide to make a stand and 4 bet him. But I really don't like the way you are thinking I 4bet here cause A 7 s is in my 4 bet range,if villain has let s say 3 % or even 5-6 3 bet u still 4 bet him ???

And postflop just cbet him 1/2 pot if he calls here just give it up and that's it. You could play check, check,check if u get a different board, but on this one keep on going with your story, keep telling u got A K but just on the flop Smile
