Something got messed up with the hh

Stats are totally useless in this spot. Villain's range for 3betting you should be fairly tight so 4betting to that size is pretty big mistake as villain will probably not 5bet bluff you. Calling the 5bet is a huge mistake now the SPR is like calling 4bet with 100BB stacks and reasons why we don't call 4bets all apply here. What's the difference between 50BB pot with 75BB behind and 100BB pot with 150BB behind? Your biggest mistake in this hand is not playing relative hand strength and played absolute hand strength.

Default play is to call and as played I don't see how we can get away from TPTK with that SPR without a soul read.

I think I just flat the 3b here unless I'm planning on 6b jamming.

Obv can't fold now getting > 4:1 with 2nd best possible flop for you but he always has AA imo.

By this do you mean that we should flat more often or 4bet smaller to induce more 5bet bluffs?

Preflop: I would normally shove if I 4bet. Stacks are pretty good for 5bet-bluffing. I would 4bet slightly smaller.

As played: The flop is a pretty easy call. Very hard for you to rep a wide enough range with a shove. Obv calling any turn.

Shove if he 5bets.

On flop take the line you think wil make him spew the most. Id nearly always call since people dont usually jam/float OOP if you raise this flop.
