Was thinking I was at the top of my range along the lines of AA, KK, AKs, and sometimes QQ, where flatting makes it look like I have JJ, TT, 99, KQs, & sometimes/rarely QJs or JTs, which overlaps with most of his 3b! range, where if I flatted, I "block" his merge range.
I was thinking I'd be okay with getting it all-in pre, as I do block AA and KK, and will be flipping most times, but if I just flat, I let villain control pot with his range and in position.
The sizing: I thought 4x was the size being OOP, because if I made it 275-300, most of his range can call being in position + he can trap call some percentage of the time.
Just need help if my ideology is correct, thank you

Also, why did you choose to 4-bet an unknown with AKs over flatting?
