Questions:
Should I have shoved rather than 4Bet?
What are the guidelines on this?

OTF, I cannot bet at all unless I shove, so I did.
I was just pretty much cornered -- If I bet, he could easily force me in anyway.
If I have any fold equity at all, I have to go with it.

What do you think?

I would always shove here, because if you 4bet it looks extreme strong with almost the half of you’re stack invested and you’re committed anyway if he’s 5bet shoving.

I would only 4bet if I can 4bet to in this case to approximately 2k and I have at least a stack of 6k at the beginning of the hand. That’s my own guideline.

As played I don’t think he will ever fold something he had called pre-flop. I expect he has a lot of mid pairs in his range and than is checking behind a little bit better.
