min4bet with AA ---> bad?

Didn't keep hand hist so just posting link, srry
Poker hand played on Full Tilt Poker with an unknown potsize - Pokerhand.org

I have a tight image (11/9) and this is villains first 3bet however he is playing pretty loose (30/20). I give him credit for a pretty big hand and thus was hoping he'd just 5bet all in.

anyways, what do you think of this, should I just be 4betting all in or is this super standard (min4bet pretty much turns our hand face up as a monster but does that matter against fish)?

  • First off, I can't see the link.
    EDIT: due to the fact that I'm at work adn they deny gambling sites....

    I hate the min 4bet personally. I really think you're playing face up. However, He will definetely call it, but unless he hits big I highly doubt he'd go all the way (depending on pot size).

    If you really think he has a hand here then make a decent size raise, maybe 2.5x his last bet.

    If you're in position then I don't mind a smooth call here. (as long as its heads-up). Wait for him to cbet then ship. If he folds, no big deal, but I believe this is the best way to get him to put more money in the pot then the line: min4bet, call, check, cbet, fold

    That being said, if he's going to call a 4bet, then make it a decent one! He'll also think twice before 3betting your ass.
  • I dont think it really mattered against this particular guy but against a thinking player it shows superstrength. If you knew he was super bad I think the min4 is a great way to get him to stack off on the flop with top pairish hands

    I think the 4-bet shove widens your perceived range against a better player tho.
  • With your stack size the min 4bet doesn't work...You aren't showing any false fold equity. (which I think is the only good reason to min bet) He knows you aren't folding and you now let him see a flop. With that much in the pot, and committing yourself, just get it in..
