I believe he may think I am squeezing to pick up dead money with my larger raise sizing.
He should have picked up that I'm a thinking player and he has seen me make a few thin value bets and a couple of 3 bets IP. I've also raised most pots I've entered IP and abused the limpers pretty hard. I also called a river bet by another opponent w AK on a dry board(thought I was still good) and value bet $100 into $180 when K hit river.
This is a good example of how situational everything is. No one here can tell you how to play your hand vs this guy, b/c no one here knows how he thinks or how lite he's 3-betting, or how he plays post-flop. Many rec. players, they only ever 3bet with AA, KK, and AK.
You have to define what you want to accomplish with every action, and how likely you think you are ahead.
If you 4-bet, what is he continuing with? How often is he 3-bet bluffing you here? What does the bigger bet sizing represent? Have you seen him 3-bet bluff? or just suspect? All these things matter.
