NL4 TPTK x every street bet

I would 4bet pre.
As played postflop is ok. You have TPTK so I wouldn't fold OTF or OTT and folding to a 1/2 pot bet OTR would be difficult. We might still be splitting the pot quite often.

Why 4 bet? I mean he already seems strong with his 3 bet, wouldn´t we just tighten his range to KK+ if we 4bet?

We should 4b here as villain will 3b 5-6% vs late positions.
Plus the size of the 3b is small.
We can fold turn as we beat only AJ. There are sets and straight possible too.

Villain seems to 3bet quite tight but let's assume his 3bet range is something like this:
QQ+,AQs+,A3s-A2s,87s,76s,AQo+

That is a polarized range. Your AKo has over 50% equity against this range. You can easily value 4bet this hand and you will get some folds and some calls from weaker hands like AQs. And even if villain continues with, let's say QQ+ only, you would still have over 30% equity.

How much for 3 bet? And for 4 bet?

I´ve heard that term many times (polarized range), but what does that mean? That his range includes not only very strong hands (from the first sight) but also hands like 87s which have great potential?

And how can we say, that his 3 bet range contains so many hands, when his 3 bet is only 4,4, which is something like this https://ctrlv.cz/KipK ?

This is overly optimistic as a preflop 3bet range. But suppose it is realistic. This is most definitely not his range once he fires turn, let alone river. I'd be surprised if we had more than 10% equity versus tight player once the river bet comes. Trivial fold, at least on the river. You'll have AQ+ to bluff catch with.

Well the range I put there was 5% range. If we assume it is polarized (he has bluff 3bet range too) and he 3bets a bit wider COvsBB than in other positions I would say that is realistic. Of course his range is not that when he fires river but pre flop it might very well be. And I was talking about 4betting pre.
In my opinion even if it was top 4% merged range we could find a 4bet here.

Okay. I thought you meant postflop. My bad.

The normal 3b is 3x and some players like to make it slightly bigger when OOP.
4b should be 2.2-2.5x. It can reach 3x.

We make our river decision on the turn if we call and the river blanks we call, as if we fold we're just burning money. If you we're a bit deeper I like the 3b-call alot more.

I would've 4bet pre-flop also.

BB's 3bet range vs steal is bigger than his average 3b range, so most of the time we are ahead here.

Post flop if we had 3bet preflop we could 3 barrel and fold to a check/raise. Or we could barrel flop and turn and see a free showdown on river.

As played I don't think it's so bad to call 3 streets, but to fold on the river I also don't think it's bad.
