How to play it

You 3-bet a Cutoff open from the Small Blind, and the Cutoff 4-bets. Your 3-betting range here is 11% of all starting hands (the colored squares). Go all-in with 20% of it, call 15% and fold the other 65%.

A Cutoff opens a wide range, so your 3-bet range here is wider and holds bluffs: suited aces and other hands that block the 4-bettor's strongest holdings. Those bluffs fold to the 4-bet, which is why so much of the range folds.

Facing the same 4-bet from the CO: the BTN folds 44%, the BB folds 34%.
