5NL Zoom - Hero 3bets EP from SB and faces AI
This isn't a spot i've come across that much if at all since i've been playing zoom - more so from EP as i see how the dynamic could be created as easy as it would playing the regular table when squeeze happy villains are left to act.

UTG raises to $0.15, MP calls $0.15, 2 players fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.75, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.60, MP 4-bets to $3.60 (all-in), Hero wonders what villains range here is?
How is my sizing here? i could potentially be OOP vs two villains that have so far been fishy. Is this a fist pump ship?
What range should we construct vs this line? QQ+ / AK?

I like the sizing anyway. I usually go to about 14-15bb in this kind of spot so 75c seems good.
What's his range? Who knows. Given the stack size and stats they're shaping up to be a fun player. There's a nice amount of dead money in the pot and they're not fully stacked so I think you have to call with AK here. Sucks when you run into AA/KK but players like this are going to have other random hands in their range (including hands that you dominate) that they play like this for...reasons.

Thanks for the reply. I kinda figured that some % of the time this would be KK+ but i've also seen players show up with random PP and Ax type junk.
What's your calling range vs this line in general?
I've seen all sort of garbage here, mostly pocket pairs. I would call AK, TT+
Up to like 110-115 bb deep, there is not even a question what to do. If you don't feel comfortable snap calling this 4-bet, then just cold call preflop. Sizing for a sqz IP can be lower, 3.5-4x the original raise.
