4bet size not, good, is it? 2.5x better like 21 BB?

Not sure wether to cbet or not. Villain has a strong but capped range {AQ+, QQ-JJ} which hits the flop quite well. (Or even gotten tricky with KK+)
That's why I x/f here.
Alternative cbet 1/3 pot and give up if hand doesn't improve.

UTG: 175.5 BB
Hero (MP): 101.5 BB
CO: 100 BB
BTN: 151.5 BB
SB: 185 BB
BB: 103.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♥ A♣

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, CO raises to 8.5 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 25 BB, CO calls 16.5 BB

Flop: (51.5 BB, 2 players) Q♣ 4♦ 8♣
Hero checks, CO bets 16.5 BB, fold,

4bet sizing seems fine. You are playing out of position. Flop isn't nice for you and without any info on villain your line is fine. I don't think a Cbet will work to often, but it really depends per villain.

4bet could be a bit smaller 22bb-24bb but i don't mind 25bb and ye the Qxx is not a great flop for AK.You could cbet like 1/3p and try and get AK to fold looking to jam any club A or K on turns.But villain isn't folding TT JJ vs 1/3p and has QQ possibly AQs.So i don't mind just checking and hoping to see some free equity and giving up vs a bet so all in all well played imo.
