Villain is a reg.
So... when I gii 70bb with 10% equity in a 3b pot, my first instinct is: 'I must have done something wrong'. So...

1. should I be checking back here and folding to bets from my opponent? (perhaps balanced by x/b a hand like AAJQ?)
2. Am I wrong to 4b these so-so Aces in first place? (my understanding was that 3b bad AA is not great oop, but if you can get SPR1 with a 4b it's fine)
3. Should I just not worry about such spots? Since I will have the right side of this equity 'fight' when flop come Q34.
4. If the flop is T44 I guess our shove will have a much higher ev, so it's not the pairing flop itself that's the problem but the fact that this smacks a decent regs 3b/c range?

Thanks

1. It's nasty looking board for sure, one of the worst sorts of boards. But the board can be monosuited, board can be KQJ, QJT, T98, all kinds of stuff you're not happy to see. Yyou can't start to always check-fold these spots SPR under 1, since you have half of your stack already in and cannot know what villain has. Half of the decks makes board even nastier on the turn, you don't wanna see any K, Q, T, 9, 8, 7 really. If villain has J you're pretty much dead like here, but if he has a straight-draw you're well ahead. I would just shove here and not worry about the results.

2. You should definately 4bet this hand 100bb deep. I would consider these aces pretty decent actually. If you would be a lot deeper, I would like calling in position.

3. No, when you 4bet and got SPR-1, sometimes villain will hit sometimes not. It's un-exploitable play with aces, and purpose is that you wont have to make difficult decisions postflop and get bluffed out of pots.
