I think my opponent played it fine at each of his decisions, but do you also mean to suggest that every one of my decisions was wrong?

The inital preflop reraise was fine. Calling the 4bet when you intend to play a lot of flops this way is just stupid since it allows him to play pretty much perfectly and only fold when he is ahead a small amount of the time. At least half the time you get it in on this flop you are a 2:1 dog or worse and and the rest you are likely on the light side of the coin.

If you intend to get it in regardless because you feel you are crushing his range checkraising full pot is dumb. It basically looks like you were tired of getting run over and finally took a stand.

i don't think i was ever getting run over. if anything i felt that his 4-bet was him trying to take a stand.

the main problem is that if he always calls with aces i could be in pretty bad shape even if he doesn't have them that often. if i don't have some fold equity here i'm definitely screwed.

well pete, if he usually doesnt show aces in this spot, then you are totally making the right play here.

you are definately agro.

i don't mean that i don't think he would play aces this way, i just mean that i think he would play a ton of other hands the same (and i have a blocker). and of course, hopefully he would fold aces to the c-r when he does have them.

i'm not a maniac. and i'm not sure he would be expecting me to c-r this flop with a hand that only has 4 outs against aces.

mmmmmm, i think with the history you two have, i dont lean on the side of him folding aces.

like i said before, if his range is wider than aces to make this play.......then you did the right thing. what choice do you have? let him run over you?

you can either avoid maniacs or go all the way with them. i like the road you took.........except for how deep you were but thats just me. i'm not comfortable stacking off deep in thin situations.
