Hi,
I am a terran player, recently i play a tournament for gold below, my 2nd opponent just went 4 gate and sent observer in my base.

When i go 1/1/1 and drop my 2 tanks on his cliff, he push all his armies to my base. Cause the observer tells him all i have though i walled.

It is worth to spend a raven just to fence off that observer? Raven is so costly.
What is effective counter to 4 gate in a big map?
tanks is not working well cause by that time his zealot will have speed upgraded, taking my marines down together on splash damage.
I cant do a good timing attack considering a big map travel distance.
Any tips?

Raven is good in your army mix for the pdd against stalkers

my play is always move my army out, then station them at the watch tower, then scout, and push further forward until i met his defense line (usually i push out at 12-14 mins mark), while continuously produce units, and contain him (i've started to put banshee in the army mix as well, work out quite good so far)

You doing polt timing attack ?  He is making 4 gate, he should be able to wipe u clean cause he didnt go colossus and furthermore he can warp in units while your units have to travel all the way in a big map. 

I own him with just 4 barrack stim marine rush in game 2 but in big map i just cant do that. 
With that observer he knows what you have and even if you FE he will know and thus he can attack at that perfect timing.  If i do make raven, i felt i wasted too much just to kill that tiny bee observer.

Meh, i guess MMM turtle expand mode is the only way

well which is why i move out, then camp at mid way between his attack route and mine (unless he did a detour , but usually the watch tower will cover most of the viable route), for me the first wave is most crucial (since both will clash on full force), if you looses, fall back to your base, and rebuild, if you manage to hold on the first wave, then continue moving towards his base

as for the early pressure, wall in + bunkers will be enough, and his obs usually will be placed on your unit production structures, and yah, mobile detector is more useful than static one (plus raven can cast pdd and turrets)

and intel on what he is building is important as it will give you time to prepare for it rather than surprise you during the skirmishes
