Four Bets are Better Than Three

Over on Table Lacay, we watched Freddy Deeb open a pot with a small raise to 12,500, and a few of his table mates gave him a rough time about his sizing. His bet sizing, that is. Deeb smirked and said he thought the blinds were still 2,000/4,000. The man next to him made the smooth call, and action passed to Ludovic Lacay in the small blind. He raised his eyebrows and put in a re-raise to 42,000. Deeb didn't like it, but he and the third player both yielded to the three-bet.
Sometimes, three bets aren't even enough. At the adjacent table, Craig Bergeron opened to 13,000 from the cutoff seat. The player in the big blind three-bet it right up to 40,000, and Bergeron took pause. After a minute or so, he plunked a big covering stack of high-denomination chips into the pot. His opponent shook his head and laid it down, and Bergeron's bubble four-bet has his stack moving upwards.
