Also, positions at the table are very important.<br /><br />For example, I am going to be much more likely to 4Bet with QQ if all the action is in late position around the button or blind versus blind because ranges tend to be wider.<br /><br />Conversely, I will beBlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-80174224636089546072019-08-08T18:09:41.658+07:002019-08-08T18:09:41.658+07:00How consistently should you 4 bet preflop with poc...How consistently should you 4 bet preflop with pocket Queens vs opponents that you don't have information on?

I think you have to be very aware of the player type and any history between you or tilt that is involved. Sometimes these are calls for me.<br /><br />The other thing you can do (as I discuss in this article) is just mix it up sometimes and go for a delayed CBet or check/call when BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-52627610469164436172019-05-07T22:32:49.679+07:002019-05-07T22:32:49.679+07:00Wow, if your game is playing that tight then I wou...Wow, if your game is playing that tight then I would be bluffing them all like crazy.
