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.
