Call should be fine

I think I'd go ahead and 4bet this OOP even though it's suited, I'd be calling AQs OOP but don't like doing it with AJs.

From book i read and videos i watched they always say dont call pre with 100bb effective pot size. And i try to stick with it. And you guys say you can call. Im little bit confused

It does depend on a few things, what position you raised from and what your opponents three bet vs that position from the BTN is. If we raised UTG and villain typically threebets UTG with a very narrow range then we can look at folding our hand, if we're raising from the CO then my guess is this type of player is going to be three betting wider than his global 10% indicates and folding here would be a disaster. My standard line would be to call here vs an aggro three better but depending on villains post flop tendencies, their fold to 4bet, and our overall thoughts on their standard of play will all be factors here in whether I would opt to use this hand as a 4bet or not.

I would recomend setting up your HUD pop ups to show how often villains are 3 betting for each position and how often versus each position. Even aggressive 3 bettors often do most of their reraising against LP opens.

Without knowing that villain is attacking UTG with a wide range I would be folding, and using AQ as my 4 bet bluff range OOP.
