First why the weird 4 bet size. the UTG raiser is fairly tight 13/9, with a 1.1% 3 bet over 630 hands. I knew that UTG is very likely to fold and if he doesn't he has KK+ like ever time and I would feel fine folding. The Button 3 better on the other hand is 40/23 with a 25% 3 bet over a 30 hand. And in general I felt button was aggressive and I would be more than happy to stack off against him. Plus even a min 4 bet does not give him the right odds to set hunt, considering I am not going to stack off every time.

Flop comes and I am feeling okay. KQ, JT, 33, and a bunch of other pocket pairs should be in his range. This, I thought was one of those cases that I am either crushed or way ahead. So I didn't see a problem checking he flop letting him try to bluff me.

Turn is an innocent card, I could shove or check and let him shove himself. I think shoving is best here.

I really dislike the way I played this hand. I should either fold on flop or shove flop. Thoughts? I have no reads on him.
