If V spazzes post flop then isn't flatting the 3 bet a better option since we are IP?

Yes but not this hand I think. A8s+ would be a better choice just because Im more happy to bluff catch him with better kickers
He 3bets every single Ax and fire 3 barrels no matter what

Witch proves that jiffybag is correct. Flatting IP is much more profitable against such a players. Actually it's pretty good idea to stop 4beting them and start flatting your top range as well.

You have almost no FE so 4betting such a hands unnecessary pump the variance.

So basically you do not want to dominate him when theres Ace on the board? Another thing he fold to 4bets a lot as well

If he 3bets every Ax he will 3bet worse and 3barrel worse. Dont assume that he will always has stronger Ax hand. Against such a player your Ax hand will be good most of the time. Yes he will turn over stronger A from time to time but you will be compensated

I dont assume he will always have better Ax. I want to dominate his range instead of having wide calling range and getting into tough spots postflop. Thats why i think A5-A2s are better 4bet candidatEs.
Even if he calls we have ace blocker + some good textures for semi-bluff but most of the time its just auto-profit
Maybe Im wrong

Yes you are. It's because with 4bet you chase off his bluffs and loose 3 streets of value. 4bet will be more profitable against a player who:

1) Folds too often against 4bets
2) Is not aggressive postflop and bets mostly when he has it.

Allright. Thanks for the lesson

Here is the result

Flop: ($1.10, 2 players) 4♠ 6♥ 5♦
SB checks, Hero bets $0.42, SB calls $0.42

Turn: ($1.94, 2 players) Q♣
SB bets $1.56 and is all-in, Hero calls $1.22 and is all-in

River: ($4.38, 2 players) 4♣

SB shows 7♦ K♦ (One Pair, Fours)
(Pre 42%, Flop 39%, Turn 23%)
Hero shows A♣ 3♣ (One Pair, Fours)
(Pre 58%, Flop 61%, Turn 77%)
Hero wins $4.23

Spoiler

Next time Hero sees something like K4s. He called out of odds.

I think we both spazzed here but also out of curiousity tell me how Do You see his range on the turn ? And what hands you calling this with

V is 'whale' so suited connectors are a big part of range, I'd prefer A8s, so I block the top str8 if I plan on hero calling. I also see V holding a pair ott not necessarily tp, but you said V 3 bets any Ax so any pair V made on flop A4 A5 A6 and turning into bluff now, and V has draws ott, nuts and air. I don't want to call with this hand - rather shove flop, to call I'd need a pair, any pair on that flop in case we up against a better A with better kicker. Obvs depends on how tilted I am from the whale sucking out on me in hands before :rage:
