4-handed, AQo against light threebettor
Villain is 19/16. My notes are that he's a light three bettor. He's aggressive. He sat down 5 hands ago and last orbit he 3-bet my CO raise, exactly like this hand.

Here's what i feel like my only two options are:
A. Call and hope to hit a Q or A.
Pros:
- +EV
- low varience
Cons:
- He's going to take the pot down a decent amount with a bad hand (AJ, AT, KQ, medium PP's)
B. Push or 4-bet and call a push
Pros (tell me if my logic is correct):
- Good equity if he decides to call with more than QQ-AA, AK
- If he calls and sees me showdown AQ, i'll get looser 4-bet calls in the future.
- He'll incorrectly fold some PP's (if my range here is QQ-AA, mostly AK and AQ, or something of that sort)
Cons:
- Possibly -EV in a vaccuum?
- If his calling range is QQ-AA, AK my hand has 0 strength and i'd rather do it with 76s.
- High varience.
I like my 4-bet push. Tell me where i'm wrong...
