Correct long term line?

[kinboshi]

Wish i hadn't seen results. I don't know much about Paul's game but given the described dynamic i would expect good players to slightly widen here in the BB, and getting TT in wouldn't be a huge mistake by any means.

The key here is the shorty. It looks like he may be stacking off so Paul is unlikely to have air in his range in this spot. We just happened to be up against the bottom of his range here imo

Very much this.  Probably one of the few hands in Paul's range that you're actually beating along with AK, so you have to fold.

Out of curiosity what does everybody do here in Paul's spot?

Anybody 4 betting worse than 99 here? Anybody having a go with AQ maybe?

Also if you're the button what do you now need to get it in following the 4 bet?

Probably fold..then again, I'm a weak fish. Like his move, just don't think I'd have the balls to pull it off.

AK yes, JJ+ ussually for me...but I refer to my above answer to explain why.

When short like that and not knowing what Alex will do QQ+

in paul's spot I would

fold AJo, Jam AQo, AJs is super close prolly fold

fold 88, jam TT, 99 is super close IDK what i'd do, would depend.

quite like the line of 4betting really small over jamming with 99 as it might just look a tad stronger and fold out a couple of things we don't want to get it in vs, AJs etc (prolly wouldn't expect TT to fold but would certainly think it's possible)
