Great job. I have a question re the 4 bet shove w 99. I assume that you were pretty confident that he was light and would fold. To me it feels potentially a bit risky to shove in a 40 bb stack in this spot. I can see that if you are going to 4 bet you pretty much have to shove w these stacks, but could this be construed as potentially spewy? I think I may not understand completely. Maybe I’m just a nit. Thanks as always and good luck w the rest of the series!
it could be spewy if i had some reason to think that the button was a giant nit and 99 was behind his 3-betting range.
plus, i’m really only shoving ~30BB, not 40. if the button had be covered it would definitely change things and i probably wouldn’t look to get the money in with no information.

That clarifies it a lot. I think that I am not good at assessing 3 betting ranges. Thanks again!
