shove pf anything else looks too strong. You get called 90% of the time here anyway in 100r.
also I would rather over flat here then make the raise you did.

Shaun's right.

As played, you are in position with 2/3 pot behind and three streets to showdown. What calls a shove, calls a shove on any street, but I'd suggest there is slightly more value in checking behind on the flop, and maybe even the turn. If he check to you three times and folds to a shove, it's not like he was going to call the flop anyway.

Bet the flop to build the pot and protect your hand.

shove pre. check flop and maybe turn hope villain does something stupid, which is possible since he flatted a raise and a reraise. agree no one ships AA AK here but I don't think villain is calling anyway.

Agree with shove pre. Post flop, keep checking and pray that Villain puts some chips in the pot. It's funny, most poker books have discussions about how to play flopped quads, a situation which comes up once a decade or so. Quad aces is just going to be impossible to get any action.

Check the flop please. Don't over analyze it.

Either shove pre-flop or check the flop as with the villain playing aggressively pre-flop you will probably be getting paid off on another street.
