    k well at first i was gonna let this go real fast and then I hesitated b/c i thought this guy prob has top pair and is just tryin to protect by over betting the pot.

    So i figured i had about 14 cards to win as long as he doesn't improve.

    Just call. He wouldn't overbet the pot with only a pair of 4's so he either has a 5 with a higher kicker than you, any 9, or a pp/set. All of which have u beat. Call with the intent of hitting two pair, set, or flush. Def do not shove here because you're obviously beat atm.

    its pretty bad cuz ur onl getting called by better, and u can bluff/fold without losing as many chips. i prolly just c/f the flop, wait for a stronger hand

    he's got the FD too deo

    looks fine to me ur actually a small favourite + the dead money means its profitable. I personally make a smaller raise to try look stronger but it prolly wont matter at these levels
