It's a fold when you get 4bet, calling a 4bet with AJo is just setting money on fire without amazing reads. If you do this often it's a huge leak even this deep.

We have very little FE on the flop, if we were 100bb deep I don't mind shoving, but being 223bb deep, I just flat, never expect to get it in ahead if we shove and get called. I'm almost always expecting to see KK+ here given their pre flop line and flop bet sizing.

Not sure what you are wondering about since you didnt write a question.

I would take the same postflop line as you did here. We only need 18% FE if we only get it in vs KK+. If he 4bets AK he will have 12 combos of AK and 12 combos of KK+. Say that he only cbets when he has KxAx thats 4combos. If he then cbets 16combos total and we get him to fold 4 of those you have 25% FE, enough to raise get it in.

If we give him QQ too we can still make this play since we will get 18% FE (4/22) vs his cbet range and if he has that range we have better EQ when called and only need 13.5% FE.

Even at 50NL I'm not convinced we need to be calling 4 bets OOP.

With AJs I would 3 bet as a default and be happy that the profit comes from when he folds or calls with a dominated hand. If you call this OOP it's you who will be on the worse end of that more often than not unless you're in a higher stakes game with more aggro players. At 50NL I would expect to see very little light 4 betting when you're both this deep.

Post flop I like your line though, pretty sure this has better EV than playing passively.

I like your post flop line given how much fold equity you need to make it profitable.

As for the preflop, I'm not a huge fan of calling 4bets OOP but you can certainly defend this play >200bb deep with a suited, nutty hand.
