I was curious as to whether the 4b% and 4b range stats were static, or if they are a function of the person's preflop style?
For instance I observed an odd comparison between two players which made me question this stat;
full ring, Player A plays 19/15 with a 6% 3bet, Player B plays 11/8 with a 3.5% 3bet, yet Player A has a 4bet of 17% while Player B has a 4bet of 20%. Does this mean that while Player A may actually 4b a wider range, his 4b% is lower because he has to fold to more 3b than Player B because he's opening more hands? Or does this simply mean that Player B is taking advantage of his tight image and 4b'ing more hands?
to put it another way - does a 4bet of X% indicate a nearly equivalent range for a tight vs. loose player or does an identical 4b% mean different things for different styles of player?
