Hey everybody more of a general question of playing AA from early position. Obviously table dynamics play a role in what is the most effective play. When dealt AA in early position there you of course raise. When facing a 3 bet do you think it is more +EV to flat or put out a 4 bet.

I just shove now. I dont like getting stacked around 20% of the time or winning a small pot a lot of the other times. And sometimes early game (depending on flow) I limp because some players will think you are stupid and/or tilted when you shove over their raise

Yeah I'll always 4 bet. No need to get cute w/ 1 pair oop in early lvls when stacks are deep.
