Hi, the players on CO and BB are fish; the MP player is something LAG preflop(30/21, 3bet 8.8, in 200 hands) but postflop folds 88% to cbet.

1.- It is ok the 4bet PF? I´m asking because MP and I were deep (Maybe I should change the table, but the other 4 players were really bad). I 4bet knowing that everybody will call and the SPR with MP will be aproximately 2.

2.- On the flop, I think that I can't do anything else than pot it, Am I right?

Thanks!

I am not expert, but can imagine situation.
1.MP have some similar hand like yours with broduey cards. He play agresive,but is not stupid and know when to fold!
2.CO know that and snap pay all of bets with his midle cards 56789T with gread posibility with FD on heard couse you both big stacks not have it.
3.Buton have odds to quad him with any cards lower than broduey.

Conclusion:
With your card matematicaly is almost ok but realy you r olmost drowing dead vs other 2 shorty!

Will beat you any ready set, 2 pair, fd, sd and so on ......

You say:

"I 4bet knowing that everybody will call and the SPR with MP will be aproximately 2." --> if you not catch someyhing on the bord you must instantly fold

The play looks great to me if your opponents were 100 bets deep. I am worried you could have just donated your stack to MP with that flop bet. It's a super wet flop and not one I would like to have aces with no draw on.

This is the problem with 4 betting preflop, you got lucky this time that MP folded (your flop against against CO is completely irrelevant because you only need 25% equity against him on the flop) but next time you might want to think about picking your spots to 4 bet out of position.
