How often does the reluctant call turn out to be a hand like 77/88/99 that then feels happy when the flop comes low? Also, do we really believe the BB would donk lead almost full pot with 22,33,44 in a three way 4bet pot, where someone is highly likely to c-bet?.... I think I probably get it in here, and expect to be ahead of a smaller overpair a lot of the time.
Spot on, BB can have 22+ AQ+ and read dependent even ATs. But when he donk leads for 4k it"s again very read dependent, he can be trying to protect his overpair or on rare occassions he can be a good player inducing, though the betsize is a little large for that purpose.
Given the donk lead adds to the already weighted probability of more overpairs than sets, I"m never folding here.
Preflop, I 4bet much bigger.... raising to 1800 doesn"t do anything other than bloat the pot which we are then having to play for out of position against the German guy.
Bloating the pot is good for KK, the smaller 4b also induces a spaz with QQ- and can tempt all 22+ to set mine incorrectly. 1800 is a little small though, offering 8/1 implied odds, I prefer ~2200 which lays a paltry 7/1.
I would however have raised considerably more with the 4bet to price out the small pairs and suited connecters.
Price them out yes but these are the hand types we have most equity against. We don"t want them to fold.
