Unless he is a psycho he will fold medium to low pockets and AJ and lower here. His 4-bet doesnt mean the same range of hands as what a normal player's does. Yes you aren't ahead of his 4-bet range but you dont need to be if he views you as tight, your folding equity swings it in your favour.

These are the same reasons you often see the sparks fly in high stakes games between two good aggro players and they end up all in with mediocre hands.
Exactly, 40/35 is some serious balls to the wall aggression and he was equally aggro postflop. I mean, when I fuck around at 25nl I feel like I play crazy aggro and my VPIP/PFR is like 35/25, so against a 40/35 (I know the sample size is small, but I would estimate that it was close to his true VPIP/PFR) I would expect AJ to be good here plenty.

You brought up another good point about the fact that I DO in fact have fold equity. I play a 20/15 game which is tight solid, and when I 5bet here I have a huge hand almost every time, so there is a decent chance he folds a hand like a small/medium pair or maybe even he mucks AQ, who knows. I would expect him to call often but I don't think he has a huge hand here much at all, especially given the timing tells in which he 4-bet.
