Villain in question is loose aggro pre and has been capable of 3 betting light.
HJ (1.2k) opens to 100
Villain (6.2k) in CO 3 bets to 360
I elected to flat (6.7k stack) with AA(JcTc) as we are both pretty deep and I would want HJ to rejam so I can go over the top. Blinds are about 7k deep each.
HJ did jam (Ks8sJdTh lol) and villain flats with Kh4hKd3d. I repop to 5.1k, he flats and get it in on flop, I win with flush. On hindsight, is this a clear 4 bet as we are sitting rather deep and does make postflop rather difficult.

Standard is to 4bet here, push your equity advantage as far as you can preflop, with emphasis that if you do choose to 4bet make it a sizing that HJ can shove on and keep the action open for you to reshove if CO calls so like somewhere between 650 & 900 ish would be about right.
Flatting worked out in this particular situation but it's hard to say it's going to be the best play unless you can somehow predict HJ is 4bet shoving in this situation a fair amount which only after opening up the pot is hard to deduce

I think your line is fine, great for exploiting weaker players.

I mean what you wanted to happen happened pretty wide (HJ shoving) so obviously your decision was right. Really depends on HJ tendencies more then anything else. Sometimes making it 750 is best... sometimes potting it... really depends on players.

I'd 4b if HJ was deeper. As played, hand is fine.
