From the mini Roller last night.

Both players had been very active.
X was opening a lot of hands.
Y was 3-betting every time they had the button, mostly with garbage from what i saw.
Was hoping to get Hu with X, but when they went all-in i wasn't sure what to do.

    Personally I'm not 4betting pre here unless I'm happy to get it in.

    Can/should you be 4betting pretty much half your stack and then folding?? I dunno, that's one for the better players to help with!

    Depends on the avg and your own style really. alot of players like to get into races however if you think your a better player then that then its a fold

    Hmmmm, neither player seems concerned by the cold 4bet. I think we can just about 4bet fold here, but the sizing should be a tad smaller IMO regardless of if we are going with the hand or not.

    As Waller said... you can't 4-bet fold here because by doing so you're effectively turning your jacks into a bluff... and there are better hands to be 4-bet bluffing with.

    You can't be 4-bet folding here for half of your stack. The only problem with your sizing is you're now committed to the pot which both other guys know and the fact they're both happy to get it in tells us our Js are likely behind.

    We just have to hope they both have combos of AK/AQ :)

    Fold, pocket Js aren't worth that kind of 4bet.
    Did you ever find out what he was packing??
