Villain is a 30/24 sLAG who is generally pretty sLAGgy but can sometimes go into c/call mode, especially bvb.. He probs sees me as a super-standard TAG, maybe a good one. I've been two to his left this session and have been 3betting the shit out of his button raises because his button pfr is like 40%. He's folded to all 4-5 of my 3bets so far.

I thought that given stacks it would be bad to 3bet pre because he'd have sufficient manouvering room to 4b/fold, allowing him to play pretty close to perfectly. I though there was also the chance the shortie to my left would squeezeshove.

No problem with this. You're getting 2.5:1 on your call and you are not a 2:1 dog vs even the tightest range. He played it right if he's got a monster. And you played it fine. IMO, you'll get shoves over from worse, like TT or AJ to your backraise. Certainly getting shoves from AK/AQ vs similar opponents in my games. Let's be honest, you're at the top of your range for doing what you did. Dead money = snap.

Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Yeah as the action went you definately have to call. Ranges aren't overly strong and there's tons of dead money and you have a strong hand.

I'm not sure about the initial call instead of 3bet.

Yeah, I like this and the preflop call. He's been pretty tight so far to 3-bets plus he's opened in MP so he probably percieves your range for 3-betting him as more value-ish in this spot given he's isoed an utg limper from MP, so yeah, you probably can't 3-bet for value and if he 4-bets we have to fold. If it's CO or BU vs blinds it's probably better to 3-bet for value and ship over a 4-bet given history.
