I've been playing a 27/14/4 to villain over 80 hands. He's 18/18/2.3 with a 4.5 3bet.

I think this was utter spew, but I'm really unsure how to play against someone who raises every time he enters a pot.

Am I committed on the flop or do I just fold?

You have position, I wouldn't mind just calling to see the flop. AQs is a hand I want to see a flop with, and by re-raising you're folding out a lot of his marginal hands. When he 4bets you can be pretty damn sure he has AK or a premium pair. I wouldn't expect to see less than QQ very often.

3bet is good. flatting the 4bet is bad (fold).

I don't mind the 3bet much myself. Once your 4-bet, the call is pure spew. You're playing against someone who most likely has you dominated. What kind of flop are you hoping to get it in on? There aren't going to be many that you'll be happy to commit to(but you'll be forced to due to pot-odds), and this flop in particular is one of the kinder ones.

3bet is fine the size is just bad. make it like 3.50 fold to 4bet as played getting it in is fine.

In general what is an optimal strategy vs someone who raises everytime he enters a pot? Do you just tighten up your calling standards? 3bet more or less?

You shouldn't play all people who raise every single time they enter the pot the same.

Example: someone pushes every single hand as opposed to someone who only plays AA and raises with it.

Now, in your case, he's just a TAG who happens to raise preflop a lot. You could 3bet lighter if he folds to 3bets often, or you can call with lighter hands (with position) and try to outplay him post-flop. Really, there are no catch-all words of wisdom that will help you; it's all subjective.

Fold to 4bet @ 25NL, better spots will come to get it in.

3betting this PF 80% of the time. Need to fold to the 4bet, he has you dominated here and your not liing many flops. As played you flopped the best you could have wanted, allin here and hit.
