No credence in his hand is out of place. He opens from MP with a reasonably strong range. He 4b on your big blind raise, making his range very strong. On these stakes, 4b with marginal hands are rare. Calculate your equity vs its range. This makes it clear that your flop raise is incorrect. In addition, you are deeply stacked and you can lose much more with a TPTK, which then clearly has less value.
Sometimes you win a hand like this but most of the times you loose a lot.
Begin with flatting AJo on the BB. Balance your flatting range by calling with some Ace broadway combo's vs early opens.
