I'm worried about posting this hand for fear of being mocked but i'm not sure whether i'll be mocked for being a complete donkey, or because its understandable to go broke here and not postworthy.

Villain has 3 bet me pretty much every hand, and i'm not used to it yet having just moved up (3rd session at NL$200 for me). I've been doing it to him somewhat too, only he has called more often than i would expect (maybe he's just catching some great starting hands). Basically, we've been 3 betting a ton and this is my poor attempt at adjusting.

at the time he was running about 14/8(looked v nitty), but overall since then i have him 23/15/2. I've just noticed that he plays as high as 10/20 but i didnt know that at the time. i ran 25/23/4.86 on that table

If you guys have really been battling it out as much as you say preflop, then I go broke here. I think you see AK here at least as often at AA or QQ. Although the smooth call of your 4bet indicates that he may hold a monster and not a drawing hand like AK.
Nonetheless with the previous action, and 3 handed, I go broke.
P.S. I fire flop here unless he is aggro enough you know he'll bet it with air.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

 It's fine to go broke here. Also, posting results makes this thread a less helpful and interesting.

 i'd bet the flop too. I think you're being too hard on yourself, this is a tough hand and you have no reason to think you're beat until the end of the hand.

 i don't like 4betting with A-Q, even though villain has seemingly been comnig after you. It has the same value as a hand like K-Jo in a 4bet pot. I would just call the 3bet and check/raise the flop if he has been so aggressive.

Regardless i think you end up getting all in here.


Hmm i just saw that it's 3 handed so my suggestion might not be so good...

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 going broke is good here in my opinion since he s never folding AJ after preflop action
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

This is fine. Bet the flop. Besides that, given the situation, im going broke here pretty much every time.
