Agree with this. I love flatting AA when stacks are shallow and it’s hard to get called when you 4 bet unless it’s a cooler situation jj+ aq or ak+. I lean toward 4 betting if the 3 bet is small and you allow others to join the action pre by cold calling after you act.
It sucks when you lose but your hand is so disguised and so many flops make your hand super easy to play I feel. You open yourself up to sick beats flatting AA but that happens in tournaments. I would rather give myself a great chance to stack someone vs 4 betting them and letting them play correctly against you. Early stages of an mtt, I’m more on the side of 4 bet and build the pot but late on flatting is a great line in my opinion. You will lose sometimes but I feel flatting is generally a more profitable play to getting an opponents stack in. Finally if someone has jj-kk or aq-ak they can still spew post flop and you allow them to play incorrectly.
