Thank you for your post. With AA & KK I will 4Bet roughly 2.5x the 3Bet. Regardless of the postflop outcome of this hand I don't recommend just going all in unless the size of your shove makes since relative to the pot size. Don't overbet the pot and scare away a lose player getting out of line. If your 4bet is called it'll be hard for your opponent to fold after the flop because he has most of his stack committed already. If villian 5bet jams then call everytime. Some of the time you will get KK vs AA and lose or the opposite. In my opinion you will be profitable in the long run with this play. I do not recommend this strategy with AK or QQ. Good Luck
