Preflop: Openning for value. BTN is most likelly a fish, with 64bb stack and stats of 42/17 in 12 hands. Decided to 4bet for value, but he called.
Flop: I think on this board I can maybe just check/call (shove in this case vs his size) because expect him to have enough worse A-highs or random bluffs. His betting range is probably alot wider then a calling range in this situation. That's why I think check/calling is better than betting. Still, I decided to check/fold because am not sure of calling and would probably be close anyway.
I actually like the larger 4bet sizing against a fish with midstack. You make it easier for yourself to go allin and your equity against his range is high enough. But I would consider myself committed even if he calls, especially on this flop. I like your check OTF, you give him the opportunity to bluff the bunch of air he might have. So in this spotlight and considering some outs against some pocket pairs, I would prefer calling his (almost) shove. Or check/raise and put him all in actually.
