Flatting AA preflop
Flatting AA in position vs a 4b seems to be something the GTO solver likes alot
Is that something regs are doing alot?
why does this make sense?

It makes sense because you let villains try to bluff you out of a very big pot and/or value bet worse hands

Agreed, when we 5bet we fold out 99% of villains range, so flatting makes sense.

I had almost this exact hand last night. I 3 bet preflop and reraised the flop. Also got it all in on the turn
I don't see solver flatting much AA vs 4B tbh
It's only BB vs SB, were AA is a pure call vs 4b. Else it's done at a very low frequency. I'd say the solver protects its call-range vs 4b with doing so.
In my experience players don't 4bet enough from the SB in BvB. They simply don't have as much 4bet/fold hands as they should have. I jam and expect to be called a lot.
I'd only flat here if I had prior evidence that an individual villain was capable of 4bet/folding here.

By 4 betting you let the light 3-better off the hook, if he is likely to spew off post flop. It is especially nice when you will be IP.
