Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6938026, member: 397965"] I do agree, that HUD-stats like 40/0 over 20 hands matter. Or after this hand it would be 45/5. However it is not always true, that this mean, that an open raise is a top 5% hand. Quite often it means, that the opponent decided to raise a random hand like J9s this time, whereas other times he limp it. And sometimes he might limp a premium hand like KK or AK to "trap". So actually fish do a lot of randomization, even though they likely dont know, what the word means :) This time it was not an open raise but a 3-bet, and it was a min 3-bet. Which as I wrote already could be nothing more than a misclick with a random hand. So another thing to consider is, that if we 4-bet and get 5-bet, we can rule out misclick and start to give them significantly more credit. So there is an "information" element of 4-betting, which makes the hand somewhat easier to play. [/QUOTE]
