Villain is 30/24 3 bet of 6.3% and 10% from the BB over 170 hands

He hasn't faced a 4 bet yet so I'm not sure how he will react to it but I think it's close between calling and 4 bet calling off and think I would call if it was AQs but I havent got any idea of how he plays in 3 bet pots as the aggressor so I elect to 4 bet call off.
When he flats I'm not sure what his range is here but I imagine it is usually fairly strong hands that are either trapping or he felt weren't strong enough to 5 bet jam but I'm really not sure.
I like cbetting really small in 4 bet pots for lots of reason such as you can get really cheap bluffs and balance them really easily since its fine to value bet small since the pots already so big in comparison to stack sizes.
I was obv jamming the river if checked to but when he donks I'm really not sure if he can ever be bluffing and that there is no weaker value hands he can have that he would feel he needs to donk the river but getting really good pot odds

He was running pretty hot in the session I was with him I guess as his WTSD is 29% and W$SD is 83%

Thanks for reading this wall of poorly written drivel. Any advice would be nice too. Too tired to read it over I apologise.

Without history I prefer calling to 4bet/calling preflop - he looks aggro but I think I would't assume that he's shipping worse here very often until proven otherwise. Therefore I prefer a call and keeping his range wide.

When he flats OOP I'm putting him on a strong range as a default - AJ+, QQ+ probably. As he's got no bluffs in his range in this spot (and even if he has he won't bluff Ahigh board in 4bet pot) I like your line on the flop and turn. However, I wouldn't plan on jamming the river.

If he donks river like this I'm instafolding - it's probably AA,AJ, maybe AK.
