Game is 2/5NL at Foxwoods
Villain in hand in question seems like a pretty decent regular. He's generally quite aggressive and can put people to tough decisions. He did seem somewhat spewy preflop however. There was a hand earlier that I had opened to iso a limper in HJ to 25, the described villain flatted CO, and the SB 3b to 110 of his effective like 550. I folded, CO flatted and shoved over a a flop cbet of 150 on T72cc. The SB folded and the CO showed 98ss.
Since then, the villain has changed seats so is no longer to my immediate left.
Hand in question:
I open AA to 20 utg and start hand with like $900. I had opened utg like 4 out of last 5 orbits, but idk if anyone noticed that.
MP calls 20, villain next to act 3bets to 80 in MP. He covers.
Folds back to me I made it 220, 1 fold, and villain flats fairly quickly.
Flop ($460): QJ4r
I bet 250, villain calls in like 10 seconds.
Turn ($960): Ko
My plan was obv to shove almost all turns, however this board is getting pretty meh for AA in a 4bet pot. I have ~$430 left in stacks. However, as noted above villain is willing to get to flops lighter than most calling 3b (and probably 4b).
What's the line here?
Close your eyes and ship it in anyway?
c/c and hope he has some hand that he wants to turn into a bluff? or c/f?

Close eyes and ship sounds about right.
