Seat 1 Lewis (playing pretty snug at this point) 'from this site' BUTTON
Seat 2 Jo (NIT) SB 10P
seat 3 me (pretty aggro) BB25p
seat 4 nathan 'nath0175'
seat 5 ross 'leicsmac'
seat 6 tom k 'tommyk00'

i get dealt
nathan calls
ross calls
lewis raises to 1.70
jo folds
Mark raises to 4.20
nate folds
ross folds
lewis raises to 12
Mark is all in for 26
lewis folds

Good line?

For me it's all-in or fold here, never calling OOP with only a half-pot bet behind. As it's live, it'd be a read-dependent decision for me.
No problem with the line here, unless Lewis has been super-super-tight til then.

Line is fine. Especially at this game lol. Also its btn vs bb so you're miles ahead of his range.

I stick that in every day of the week. Would like to see why Louis 4-bet a hand he doesn't want to get in preflop though. 12 to steal 4.60 with a hand you won't get in with well over 2 to 1 seems nuts!

Yea your line is standard and totally no-comment-worthy (sorry it just is)

Lewis's line was just awful, I'm not folding 97o in his position let alone AJ. Why 4bet a hand as good as AJ then fold it getting like 3 to 1 on your money. I can understand the 4bet in principle, if Marks 3betting range is so wide that AJ is well ahead of it, at which point he is 4betting for oblique value. I can even understand a 4bet bluff with this hand (stacks need to be deeper), where lewis appreciates that although Marks range (if he's tight + nitty) is ahead of his, but can get appreciable fold equity. For example where Marks range is TT+, AJs+, AQo+, but by 4betting can narrow his range to QQ+ AKs then he's quids in.

In fact Lewis if you read this can you explain your thought processes.
