BTN's stats were 34/16 over 111 hands and 64% LP steal attempts. He had been between minraising and 2.5xing and folding to any aggression so when he raises 3x this time should we still be getting AJo in here? Is flatting horrible?

BTN: BB = 46.6, t55932

Hero (SB): BB = 21.3, t25509

BB: BB = 43.6, t52377

CO: BB = 43.5, t52182

Pre Flop: (t2400) HERO is SB with J of hearts A of clubs

1 fold, BTN raises to t3600, Hero???

I am getting it in here nearly 100% of the time. Was his position different when he was raising less? I have seen a lot of players that raise between 2.2 and 2.5x in most positions but almost always raise 3x OTB or BVB. I raise 3x BVB when after 50-100 I am usually raising a little less than 2.5x. Here with your stats I am fistpump shoving and expect most of my EV to be fold equity. Given we are 4 handed, your reads, and stacks I would say I am shipping any pair, K9s+,QT+A8+ in this spot.

I'd probably also shove some hands like 9Ts and JTs in addition to the range Nairb mentioned because that is also +EV.

AJ is strong 4 handed in this spot. You have an Ace blocker which removes combinations of hands that dominate you, too. Running into Ax domination becomes less likely as you get more shorthanded.

Agreed J9s+ would be in that range too.

Ya I would be shoving a rather wide range here…..I wouldn't flat here ever just cause we arent deep enough at all and would be playing the hand oop post flop……just go ahead and stick it in he def. can be raise/calling with a lot of hands that you have beat.
