Villian was 17/15 over 200 hands, dont know if he was getting annoyed because I squeezed a lot of hands before and was being really aggro preflop ... Should I take a flop in this spot? I think I folded correctly, but I'm not sure.

Pretty sure the correct play is to call and play the flop as it is, you have position also. A fold isn't a terrible play here but I'd say calling is the better option.

shouldn't I take in consideration the fact that he's probably 4betting a really tight range here (KK+)?
I rarely ever see people 4betting in the micros.

No one cares to share any thoughts on this?

I've played at micros for a while too and I'm almost certain QQ is in his range too, as well as AK. Based on his stats I'll say TT/JJ/AQ aren't likely 4 bet hands for him but still. Again folding is probably not too bad but I don't think you can just assume he must have KK or AA here.

since he is a 17/15 he is open raising the tiniest possible range from any position possible. that being said once you get 4 bet here you most likely do not have the best hand.. villian also is very very unlikely to be bluffing so it is pretty useless to assume he is adjusting to your past play with him.
the important thing to note is that you are very deep and that flatting IP i think is pretty def the best but you are flatting here v a range we for the most part are either crushed or flipping with..

3-bet way more, with the CO calling I'm bumping it to 45-50c here. I'm folding to a 4-bet from a 17/15 without any further reads.

We can't shove, we're 350bb deep and villain has reasonable stats, his range will be KK+ almost always. Flatting a 4x 4bet with AK against this range is not good, if we flop a K we're crushed anyways, with an A on the flop we're not getting paid by KK.

Good fold.
