I think my 3bet sizing here looks strong. Am I wrong? When he 4bet I’m thinking since he’s the other big stack at the table the last thing I want to do is get in a monster pot here or get it in crushed so I call. I’ve got an overpair and flush draw on the flop but still am pretty hesitant to raise/get it in thinking he could well have AA or KK, call the cbet. Then first to act he just ships on the blank turn, putting me in a brutal spot. I’m not seeing monsters under the bed, this guy probably has AA, KK, or AK with at least 1 spade that beats mine, right? I can’t see getting in a big pot here against the big stack if I’m him unless I have the goods. I feel it was the right laydown but it definitely rattled me a bit.
Did I make the right play?

FWIW, I run with numbers around that over a really large sample. How sure are you that he has KK+/AK here?
How sure was I? Well…. not sure. I’m sort of going with the “they always have it,” theory.
Digging into stats now that I didn’t look at in-game, I can see that he does have a 4 4b out of the 20 hands I’ve seen him play in which he was 3bet. Not really statistically significant I think when it comes to the 4bet stat in particular.
Agreed it would have been a good spot to flat but I’m probably calling it off if there’s a pf shove from the blinds and V iso shoves. If V flats the shove I’ve got to be a bit suspicious though. I probably flat as well. With a bigger pot I’d be willing to get it in on the flop then.
It’s really his 4bet that makes me feel there’s a good chance I’m beat from the jump.
