I don't know that I have an answer for you just yet, but I like the idea of this thread a lot, since you are (almost) describing me when you describe villain.

Glad to see you've finally moved to 6 max though.

Oh, one thing I will say is that I'd prefer light 4 betting over calling his 3 bets OOP like you suggested. I don't think that's going to be profitable long term. Against this particular opponent, I almost think light 4 betting AND only calling (especially in position) with your usual 4 betting hands (and then raising his flop CB) might be a good idea.

Whatever you do, you're going to want to mix up how you play him quite a bit.

This is a nice thread.

If I am OOP against this villain and I opened (EP or MP), my tighter opening requirements OOP are way ahead of his 3-betting range, so I 4-bet with pretty much my entire opening range. The weakness of this is if he calls then I am OOP in a bloated pot, but I think it is the best way to handle the situation.

On the flops I miss I lead something like 40%, c/c 30-40%, and mix c/f and c/rai the rest. Of course it depends on what flops and all the usually cirteria.

Been away a few days for a wedding, so just getting to this.


I should have described this better -- you have been opening in the CO/Button and villain is in the SB/BB 3 betting, thus you have position in the hand
