        reasons to bluff:
        1) do balance hand range to get gain more during value bets
        2) when we have high fold equity
    - - if opponents range is depolarized (no bluffs):
        consider if our hand is ahead or behind. If behind (e.g., JQs vs QQ+) then fold. If ahead (KK vs QQ+) then 4-bet
        If not sure (JJ vs QQ+, AKs+) then consider your position, how well opponents plays post-flop, stack sizes
      - if opponents range is polirized:
        some strategies:
        1) tighten your range
        2) reduce your open rasing bets to 2x-2.5x (reduces risk)
        you should make decisions depending on how wide their 3bet range is: if it's very wide you should be willing to call and 4-bet more - take notes and look at hud stats
