Fold to 4-Bet from CO

Overview

Fold to 4-Bet from CO is a positional poker statistic commonly used in online HUDs (Heads-Up Displays). It measures the percentage of times a player folds after they have made a raise (or 3-bet) from the cutoff position and then face a 4-bet from an opponent. This stat helps identify how tightly or loosely a player responds to aggression in late position.

Interpretation

A low Fold to 4-Bet from CO (e.g., below 40%) indicates that the player tends to call or 5-bet frequently when 4-bet from the cutoff, suggesting a willingness to continue with a wider range. A high value (above 60%) suggests the player folds often and may be exploitable by frequent 4-betting. Typical ranges vary based on game dynamics; in 6-max cash games, a balanced player might have a stat around 50-55%.

Strategic Use

• Exploiting Opponents: If an opponent has a high Fold to 4-Bet from CO, you can 4-bet them more liberally when they raise from the cutoff, forcing folds and picking up pots. Conversely, against a low stat, you should 4-bet less and consider calling or 5-betting with strong hands.
• Defending Your Range: To avoid being exploited, players should adjust their own Fold to 4-Bet from CO based on opponent tendencies. Using a balanced approach with mixed calls and 5-bets is recommended.

Sample Size Considerations

This stat can be noisy with small sample sizes. For reliable reads, at least 50-100 opportunities are recommended. Note that the stat only applies when the player is in the cutoff and faces a 4-bet; it does not include situations where the player is in other positions.
