InsideEdge,
I rarely 4 bet shove with any of my hands as I view it as a gross overbet shoving $50+ into an $7 - $8 pot. So doing it here wouldn't be good.

What are the advantages of 4 betting to $20?

I find that alot of players will call $20 with hands like 99 or AJ but will fold if put to a decision for all of their chips. So my standard is to 4 bet to $20ish with all of my big hands.

This is exactly why I don't overbet shove big pairs often. Their ranges are way wider for calling. I don't know why. But AK I hate to put the other half of my stack in or fold on a missed flop, so I'm more inclined to overbet shove AK. That's somewhat exploitable, but hard to detect. (unless I blurt it out all over the internets)

Ya most players don't pay enough attention but if you play enough the regs will notice this pretty quick. fwiw I'm open shoving most flops when my AK 4 bet gets called here since I do the same with my big pairs/sets
