KK vs 3bet Linecheck
I had a very long break before I restarted playing Online Poker a week ago.
So far my impression ist that Regs at these Limits already bluff3bet sometimes but tend be pretty tight when it comes against 4bets (or 4betting themselves)
Therefore I would like sometimes mix in a calldown like this hand (not always). I think people will overbluff here, thinking I am capped.
What do you think about?
Which bluffs could ne barrel through and which would indicate that his frequenzy might not be right?
CO seems to be kind of multitabling Reg 31/24 Over 45 Hands

I imagine the proper adaptation to "people are tight vs 4bet" is to 4bet more, not to flat KK preflop out of position.
Flatting vs 4betting is a 3bb mistake in theory, you need a very good reason for deviating I think
I think you should 4bet, as stated above it's a big EV loss just to flat from these positions. If you want to trap with KK (or AA) at least do it when you are in position.
Yeah we're basically tanking EV by trapping kings preflop.
If he has AK/QQ we want him to invest now while he thinks he could still be in with a shot (shove ideally) and additionally, even if he calls QQ and we get a lowish board like this, they will talk themelves into bigger mistakes at lower SPRs. Whereas with a much higher 3b SPR the value of our OPs diminishes and we lack enough nutted combos to comfortably gii.
