Utg and Btn are both somewhat decent. Mp is new but just posted. Not much reads.

SB: $166.65
Hero (BB): $217.00
UTG: $200.00
MP: $120.00
CO: $268.45
BTN: $207.25

Pre Flop: Hero is BB with A

UTG raises to $8, MP calls $6, 1 fold, BTN raises to $30, 1 fold, Hero...

Calling = I have AA
Raising = I have AA
Shoving = I have AA
Folding = I don't have AA

Basically what is the best line here or Btn isn't folding no matter what here?

if your 4betting range is only AA then you are a nit....this is actually a good spot to 4bet bluff but I would just push to rep AK

I would love to hear your +EV range for a cold 4-bet on an UTG open

Haha. Annoying spot, isn't it. In a good way.

Realistically you can flat call and rep JJ/QQ or just open shove to make it look like you have AK. Raising to something like 80 is meh. You can't really rep a bluff ever so just shove I guess

call or shove, raising really puts your hand face up

I took the worst line possible, raising to $100. Didn't matter in this case since he had KK.

72ish better if want to cold 4bet it. lets him think you might be raise/folding with jj, ties him in easier with jj where he might have folded to a shove. Lets him think I'll see a flop for that price with aj, aq, etc. and even though you are pretty much never bluffing here, gives him the opportunity to lol rebluff you.

I'm sure there are a few who do. People make silly assumptions when they have a bold aggressive move left that involves shoving all their chips in the middle. $72ish instead of $100 gives villain much more room to do something dumb.

sounds kinda ridiculous that people out there would think they have FE on a 5bet from someone cold 4 betting, but you're probably right. give fish room to do something dumb and they just might do it

well obv KK and most of the time QQ and AK, and i think its a good time to occasionally bluff against decent players because it will get mad respect.

if you were interested in balancing it, just toss in 2's or 3's and you should be ok
but whats the point of balancing a cold 4bet range at NL200?

If you think raising here = AA then you've got a few things to work on

If the 3bettor 3bets light often, you should be 4betting here with the same junk you resteal with when you 3bet a co opener on the btn. Not as often, clearly, but often enough for people to understand you don't always have aa here.
