Four Bet Poker
Playing 2.5/5 online. I have $500 behind with QQ. Button raises to 15, SB re-raises to 60. He 5 bets and puts me all in. I know that chances are he has AA, KK, AK+ to do this, but I also saw the same guy call a $250 4 bet pre-flop with AQ, which seems like a terrible idea. If the big blind is considered the first bet in a poker hand, when someone makes an initial raise, then that would be considered a 2bet. After that, a re-raise would be regarded as a 3bet (the third bet), and then if someone then goes on to re-raise the 3bet, then that would be viewed as a 4bet (and so on).

Introduction
Super 4 is a progressive blackjack side bet based on the four cards consisting of the player's and dealer's initial two cards. There are at least four known versions. In both, the player wins on a dealer blackjack. The amount of the win depends on the poker value of all four cards. The wager costs a flat $5 to make.
Rules
- The side bet can be based on any ordinary blackjack game using 52-card decks.
- There are three versions. In all of them, all wins require at least a dealer face up card of an ace. In version 1, the dealer must have a blackjack. In versions 2 and 3, all wins except a dealer ace up require a dealer blackjack.
- The bet amount is $5.
- The pay tables are as follows. All wins are on a 'for one' basis, meaning the player's bet is not returned, even on a win.
