10/20/40 Flop Decision point after a 4Bet Bluff Pre

WhatÂ’s 2+2, been a lurker for years and decided to finally make an account after getting back into poker after a 10 year poker hiatus.

You may have seen this post on Reddit so please donÂ’t spoil it if you have.

Villain: Seems to be a good reg. Early 30Â’s. Familiar with quite a few players around town. Aggressive when he gets into pots, frequently squeezes in good spots.

Hero: Mid 30Â’s Rec, who likes to think heÂ’s decent, but definitely no world beater, to this particular villain likely has a tighter image due to being quite card dead this session, and being blown off a hand in a previous session in which Villain bluffed hero out of a big pot.

Playing my usual private game that runs on Sundays, thereÂ’s a good mix of Regs and Recs. In this particular hand the guy IÂ’m going against is someone I consider a good reg, not afraid to squeeze, be aggressive when it calls for it etc etc, I actually have some history with him from about a month ago where he bluffed me off a 3 bet pot by jamming the river for 4300 after a 1400 dollar 3rd barrel bet by me then showing 86s for bottom pair, he had opened on the button then called my 3bet out of the SB.

Hero is a rec, doing my best to improve through study but still have a ways to go.

Anyways to the hand in question. Hero hasnÂ’t really showed down much if at all, did call down Villain on an attempted overbet river bluff but otherwise pretty card dead but have managed to do fairly well on the day picking my spots and getting through some bluffs but doing a lot of folding otherwise. HavenÂ’t 4Bet once on the day.

10/20/40 8 handed
UTG+2Hero (7300)
BBVillain (5700)

Hero is dealt A︎4

2 Folds, Hero Raises to 140, 1Fold, LJ Calls, 2 Folds, BB B]3Bets to 600[/B], Hero 4Bets to 1700, LJ Folds, BB calls.

IÂ’ve seen villain squeeze fairly often and decide to make a move, my first 4 bet of the day and given prior history I thought it would come off as quite strong, in retrospect I think I sized it a little too big, I like 1500 better here as I think it seems less like IÂ’m trying to blow him off the hand and if I have AA here I imagine that would be my sizing.

Flop

Villain checks

Hero????

Hopefully I did this right as itÂ’s my first attempt at a HH/post on 2+2, IÂ’m not sure if IÂ’m supposed to post about my thought process here at this point or wait the 24hours, appreciate everyoneÂ’s input!
