Hero??

Villain is 18/18/1 over 11 hands. I'm wondering whether a) I should 4-bet preflop and b) how do I play the flop? I'm thinking a check-raise would be good. But if so, should I just try and get it in now since he's probably calling w/most overpairs or should I make a fairly big one and then get it in on the turn. Finally, I'm never getting away from the hand unless an ace comes on the turn, right?

4 bet yes, be more aggressive also his stats over 11 hands mean nothing really, and can actually cause you harm if you rely on those over a rdiculous small sample.
the villian donk betting the flop on that board deserves a raise from you at least size of pot.
this level you would then call a shove.
Villian ranges likely ranges are two pair and maybe high suited cards.

Nip this in the ud preflop though by re-raising.
