A8s on UTG vs BTN, 4bet pot, TAG w/ 18% 3bet 400 hands

I think these regs are 3betting a bit too much on BTN, that's just my impression because you can't see their detailed stats on GGP.

Thoughts?

In Fast-fold games there exists a class of player with a very high 3Bet percentage.
They usually have big stacks (although not in this case)
To combat them, you widen your 4Bet range — and you seem to have done this.

At some point you get to a situation where essentially you're flipping for stacks.

The alternative is to tighten up, and 4Bet tighter, but shove over any 5Bet.

Not sure I would 4bet pre-flop without stats and reads on the villain in this hand. Even if villain folds a lot on 4bets I would 4bet around 3x out of position.

Now you give villain decent odds to call in position.

Thanks you all. The time bank at GGP is rather short so I was very close to time out but I did make the call. Like, two seconds away maybe?
