I probably 4bet here too much but whatever, post flop looks fine, I might gay bet the flop for like $3.50-$4.50 and go from there.

I would say it depends on the players you are playing against, and at these low cash tables you never know what your opponent might call with, he can be calling 44 or other low cards just to see the flop and take it from there on.

I do that myself in such lowcash tables, but never at higher limit tables.

I think you played the hand good enough, dont think i would do that much more different.

My guess is that he had AT, AJ, AQ or maybe QQ, so thats fine played.

In position id be more willing to just call with something like AK. I usually 4 bet oop with AK because i want to know if this person has a high pp like 10s +. And, if im raised again, it usually means he has a premium hand like QQ plus so i fold pf. If i dont 4bet, i cbet the flop oop. But then if im called or raised, i have no idea what to do.

So 4bet OOP more than IP with AK is my advice :O

i use to 4bet AK almost every time i have started to just call 3bets more often. I find that at low stakes people only 3bet pairs and AK and maybe AQ. If you 4 bet getting put all in by big pairs like AA and KK. You have hardly no fold equity as low stakes players hardly every fold after 3beting. I would call then go from their.

4b is good if you think the squeeze is a bluff
