is it better to shove flop?

I think the 4bet size was too small. OOP I'd make it 40BB or so.
I think the primary mistake was the turn. You were not getting the correct price to pursuit the spade and you were OOP. By calling here you are comitting yourself to a pot where you have ace high against a villain IP that called your 4bet and double barrelled so far. You're behind here almost 100% of the times. Shove or fold here.

By going all-in OTF you increase your equity. With 9 outs for the flush and the 3 aces (not even considering a Q with give you the best hand) it's a coinflip. I think it's best than call and wait for the turn.
You'll get called by QQ, TT, maybe JJ. AK is folding for sure.

The 4bet size is ok but the spot isn't. Just flat your AQs preflop please (if else I wonder how weak your flatting range looks like) and 4bet bluff MP with something like A5s, KQo, or AJo instead. Moreover if you're deep.

As played it's weird indeed, you're nearly all-in when you call turn so I suppose it'd have been better to shove flop even if you'll often lose.

I wouldnt 4bet pre in this situation. OTF i think i would just call also, because i dont like to risk all my stack on a coin flip (thats if u count the A). OTT is a fold for sure

Agree with the others. OTT it is a fold for me as well, flop call looks fine.

I wouldn't 4 bet either. But I would risk my stack for a coin flip + fold equity any day.

Ok, why is nobody cbetting this flop ? Clear cbet flop with the intention to shove turn. This way you put huge pressure on his JJ/AK type of hands. I even think he would fold AK. You still have a decent equity against every possible holding of the villian.

Basically with AK/AQ spades + AA/KK i am cbetting the flop and shoving the turn.

if you 4bet AQs there shouldnt be any hands that your calling, you turned in bluff best possible hand that you could call to his 3bet, if you get such a flop why didnt u check rise the flop, calling is the worst possible way to do holding FD on Ace in 3bet pot OOP

I don't like it. AQs is obviously not a good candidate for a 4-bet bluff, and I don't think you should have a 4-bet bluff range UTG vs MP on 2NL, unless if you know the player very well. On the flop I'll C-bet any day, taking the passive line in this situation is a big mistake IMO.

I would not 4bet pre but as played I think this line would be just fine. I like the reasoning. Also, if we check with Snowie or with a GTO solver this is probably what those would suggest.
