In general, against unknowns, we are best of to assume that a villain 3- betting PF is likely to have AA** a vast majority of the time, therefore our 4betting range assuming 100bb is very polarized heavily to premium AA**. This is because 4betting premium KK** is not going to end well as we are only like 35% or so against him, and villain is not folding pre so it’s not good, we would be better off to set mine/look to hit flops with good equity. When they do 3bet PF with primarily AA** we will not be folding too often pre flop as we will have rather easy decisions to make post flop based on SPR and our perceived equity.
When we face a liberal 3bettor, they will be potentially 3betting very wide with JJ+, and lots of suited/double suited rundowns and some garbage. As a result we are able to start to widen our 4betting range to include all AA** and premium KK**, QQ** and A*** (where all our cards are broad way and our AK**double suited hands.
We will not be folding these pre flop as we are not 4bet bluffing in PLO that often, unless of course we have a very specific hand range we can put them on (AA**) and it is clear that we do not fare well/able to play well against this range. If we can ensure there is a non zero percent 5bet range that is not AA** we are good to go.
The reason we 4bet AK** double suited and high card hands is because we will be dominating our opponents hands if they have a double suited hand with one suit matching which is good for us. The AK** also ensure that we defeat the A*** hands that they are getting overly aggro with.
Equation to use to assist in our pre flop calculations to work out the EV of a 4bet: EV (call 4-bet) = (1 - top_x) (-25.5 BB) + top_x {av_equity (201.5 BB) - 88 BB}
