If you are going to 4bet, make it smaller (to ~2.50) giving yourself room to fold. A 4bet or 5bet by a full stack was always KK+, AK+ except when I got people to spew against me.

As played, you have to call because you break even against QQ+.

You put way lot of chips to even consider folding here + at this level I will go all in with AK pre like 99% of the time

I agree with Wurly, it's not about whether you should 3-bet, but rather how much. In considering raise sizes, consider how large a raise your villain can call without being pot-committed, as well as how big a raise you can make without being pot-committed.

At this level, you could even make a case for just calling PF because your villain is almost certainly going to play QQ-TT badly enough after an A or K hits that reverse implied odds are not a significant factor. At higher levels, calling a reraise PF is going to get less and less profitable, eventually ending up as a losing play.

I shove my AK here giving us more fold equity as I'm never folding after 4betting my AK here.
