Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7205879, member: 397965"] No its general. Yes and sizing also matter. If HJ had min-raised, maybe it would be ok to call on BTN to take advantage of your postflop position. Although even then I would much prefer to have J9s, and I would mix in some 3-bets as well as flat calling. Just ask yourself this: If HJ had opened to 22BB, would you still give action with the same range? Hopefully your answer is no, and then you should also adjust your range, when someone open to 4BB instead of 2BB or 2,5BB. Thats a tell of them being maybe not the best player, but what does that mean in the specific situation? In my opinion it most likely mean small=small and big=big meaning, that if they had a marginal hand, they would have limped or min-raised, and when they go to 4BB, this mean, they have a really good hand like TT+, AQ+. And the thing, they do wrong, is, that they literally tell you their hand strength by their sizing. To enterpret a 4BB raise in a different way, you need to play on a regular table, where you can notice, if someone does this all the time, and that they are also very active. Like maybe they are playing stats like VPIP 62 / PFR 43. Then I would not "respect" a 4BB raise at all, but I would still wait for a better hand than J9o to attack them. Like maybe if you have AJo, then you put the hammer down with a 3-bet, and get it in, if they come back over the top. Thats even more reason to fold, since you obviously dont want to face a 3-bet with a terrible hand like J9o. Also how is the action "weak", other than the fact you just called? This is a play, you could make with AA or KK but not with J9o. [/QUOTE]
