4b pre and high five villain for making this hand profitable and easy to play. Your aces aren’t even that crappy.

Can you explain your thinking behind wanting to flat AA preflop when you could get almost half your stack in with a 4b?

4bet pre.

As Wazz points out you can get half your stack in pre, my2cents; if that requirement is met then I’m 4betting much worse AA than these.

I don't know how solver feels about this concept in general but the received wisdom is that if you can get in enough of your stack to be able to pot jam the rest in on the flop with AA, you should do so (preflop, on the flop we can improve on that strat)

Best I am able to check is 25% for a 4 bet oop (150bb) and now he is folding AAA2, calling 6.2% and raising 94%... so yes it changes slightly, but the 6.2% are pretty trashy.
