Seems like the hand is played fine. Sorry if this was a cooler but there's no way you can fold in a 4bet pot after taking the free card and hitting your top pair on the turn.

I do think it's pretty obvious that you're representing exactly AK and it's also fairly apparent that villain isn't concerned about that hand... but it's still almost impossible to fold in this spot against this type of opponent. If your villain were of the 16/13/2 variety I might think about folding but even then the pot is so big that it's still really close.

i think this is actually a fistpump call
edit: if not for the Q it definitely would be

its still kind of gross but you should call the turn shove. nh.

your 4bet size isnt really good. either 4-bet shove or make it like $101. your 4-bet amt just leaves you with super awkward stacks to play with.

no, like 100-110 or so. 3x his raise is sortve the worst of both worlds.

i think leaving a PSB to play for is the best way to 4bet in this spot.
