don't mind the jam. don't think the CO should ever be raising flop there and the min click always feels like a set or overpair though.


4bet is too small this deep. You should size it up lto 30bb at least.

I would cebt smaller. You want to get calls form hands like AQ or to induce some random raise. Vs min raise just call, with jam you just fold out hands that are close to dead vs you, calling at least gives him a chance to make some random bluff (unlikely but possible).

I was about to write this, 4betting to 25BB is a real mistake here. CO has a very comfortable 16BB call with almost their entire range, to play a pot in position with a lot of money behind.

150BB deep, GTOwizard has an optimal 4bet size of 28BB. 200BB deep, it goes to 34BB (!!)

Fast fold poker allows you to insta sit-out->sit-in to reset your stack to 100BB. In learning mode (which I assume you are, playing NL5) there is so much to assimilate for the classical 100BB deep game that I feel playing deeper is a bit pointless (but of course it's still fun yada yada, so: as you wish!).

Postflop seems ok-ish, you flop so well you don't mind all the money going in on the flop + being OOP will make it hard to avoid mistake on later streets especially on brick runouts.

In short, I don't have enough fold equity for my draw + fold equity to be profitable, is that right?
