1/3/5 AQ 4bet? fold? cold call?
1/3/5 10 handed
The rock straddle is out every hand, but played from every single position so the position is weird preflop.
Villain is the same one from this post
He opened 45$ with KK with only 1 limper before on a 5$ straddle.

Hero 3bet shipped JJ and lost earlier. Just rebought.
Effective stacks 500$
Preflop
Rock is on the sb, UTG opens for 10, Villain is in MP 3bets to 35(awfully small compared to his KK open), MP+1 coldcalls, HJ(donkfish) calls,
Hero is dealt AQo in CO, we 4bet? fold? cold call?
We have a passive fish(btn) right behind us.
We have a spewy shortstacker(150ish stack) in SB(he min3bets/ships random hands like small pp, jto, j8o when he sees pot odds, hands he like or whatever he's thinking).
If I had to guess UTG open range is quite weak with this min open{SC, small pp, Axs}.
Villain's huge open sizes was KK earlier, now his super small 3bet range means not KK+??? So something like TT-QQ/AQ+? or even weaker?
We probably have 0 fold equity with a 4bet unless we ship. If we 4bet too small, we probably getting at least 2 callers? Yes people all want to see a flop here.

Make it 100 or fold. I am tempted to raise given your description of utg range. Why do you think we have minimal fold equity? Everyone is pretty capped given your reads.
Spoiler
In game we made a tight fold.
V had A7s and flop 2 pairs
He won a small pot vs a fish on btn with 2 pairs as well.
In retrospect, we probably better off cold 4betting 150 then getting 1-2 callers after realizing their range might be capped.
Not loving it you just rebought for one and to come back and 4 bet I think is a mistake, call me a nit if you want. I think you have to just fold for better position and cards.
