Is shoving here standard? This match is maybe 10 hands in so I'm pretty readless. Villain got his stack with calling down bottom pair for 2 streets and me giving up the river.

Your almost never behind here and theres no draws that we're afraid of. If you were deeper I don't think shoving gets the most value vs most players. However with these stacks shoving it is the only reasonably play.
Don't 4 bet AQ if you don't want to go with it when you flop top pair.
You should have a clear plan when you decide to 4 bet. Either I have the best hand and I want to get the money in asap either preflop or on a ton of flops or I have a garbage hand like 56s and I'm bluffing because this guy is 3 betting too much and won't continue very often.
I am tilted just looking at this hand. Facking minraising me to death.
either we're screwed or he has like 3 outs so I probably call and give him a chance to keep bluffing. I never ever fold here.
