BTN wins 51.26 BB

What do we know: BTN really solid reg 28/25 on 76 hands, pretty active at the final table until now. I was pretty active as well with 3 bets and defending myself aggresively against the other players. His raise is standard and my 3 bet is standard as well. When he 4-bets shoves the hand becomes tricky. Knowing how active he was until now I extended his 4 bet range with some bluffs with good equity as I 3 bet quite a lot during the final table ( actually almost all the spots where I could do it I did 3 bet ) so I had an aggro image at the table. Considering his perception of me and the dinamics of the table I called putting him on a 8.5% range 99+, AJo+, ATs+,KJs+,KQo,QJs.

My questions will be the following:
1.What 4-bet range will you assign to him with the above info ( including some bluffs as given the table dinamics I am sure he has some bluffs in his 4 bet range ).
2.How is our calling ranges looking here? Will you think about folding AQo?

Hi,

I think 3-betting AQ for value is fine and m not going to fold shove. He may shove every pp, if you were aggressive and 3-bet happy then Axs, suited connectors, likely some KQ, KJs hands. Since he is chip leader he can put more pressure against you and AQs should definitely be your value hands which you can 3-bet/call.
I would likely 3-bet/call AQ+, 88+ (maybe 66+, AJ+)

best regards,
