Four-Bet
The fourth bet in a sequence: a raise against a three-bet. Four-betting typically represents a very narrow, strong range of hands and puts significant pressure on the three-bettor. In cash games, four-bets usually commit a large portion of effective stacks, making the decision to four-bet or fold crucial.
Example
You open to 2.5x, the button 3-bets to 8x, and you 4-bet to 20x with pocket aces. At this point, you are committed to getting all the chips in.
