Its hard to say, but I wouldn’t recommend 4-bet jamming all-in on the flop. Lots of people open-limp a lot of their range, including hands you and I would open-raise, so on Global never assume people won’t have strong hands in their limping range because a good player would raise that hand. Same goes for post-flop – don’t expect fun recreational players to play like you and I.

On the flop, lead out rather than slow play your hand since you get value from straight draws, flush draws, 7x pairs, over pairs, and weaker 4x hands.

When there is a bet, a raise, and a massive re-raise from weak-passive opponents I’m no longer in love with trips with an 8-kicker. I would advocate calling and re-evaluating the turn because there are lots of 4x hands that beat you. Also, if you have A4, re-raise an amount you will get called by worse (around $8-ish) and jam turn on a blank run out.

Always remember, weak passive opponents get aggressive with good, strong hands and typically don’t over play draws. I would expect bet and raises with the nut flush, a combo draw, over pairs and trips. Massive re-raises are very value oriented, so mainly sets (full house here), trips, and over pairs.
