This is an hand that totally went against my nature. First of all calling his 3-bet with A4os. This is not a standard call for me. The reason why I made is that I had the feeling he wanted to take profit from my conservative approach the first hands where I showed that his aggression payed off. What also played a roll is that he made an instant 3-bet and I had the feeling he already planned this 3-bet. Anyway, I thought my A4os was better than his hand and I made the call. Than came the flop and he leads out with half potsized bet. The king worried me a little bit but I thought I am still good. I thought he could have everything and most hands would be something like J-10, Q-10, Q-9, J-9 and maybe some aces. Again, what helps is that he made a instand bet, and again I had the feeling that he would he make the bet no matter what kind of flop. I made the call again and see what will happen on the turn. At the turn he again made an half potsized bet. And again he made it without thinking. Now, I really had the feeling that he just wanted to look as strong as possible and that he decided to go for a tripple barrel bluf. I decided to re-raise him and show him the thirth pair on the board. What are your thought on my play?

This a raise-fold pre.
A4o is a terrible hand to flat a NAI 3b with because it suffers from reverse implied odds vs the better Ax in villain's 3b range.
If you think villain is 3b a wide enough range that you can flat here, I think you should be 4b jamming because villain's expanded range has decent equity against you which isvaluable to fold out.
On the flop you have a bluff catcher and call.
On the turn you still have a bluff catcher, villain makes a pot committing bet and you jam over, turning your hand into a bluff.
When villain leaves 80 chips behind and the pot will be 960 when you jam over and he calls, he's basically never folding.
If you put villain on a wide enough bluff : value range on the turn here that you're ahead enough to continue, I guess you're getting the chips in so it doesn't really matter if you do it on the turn or call and bluff catch the river.
I think it's a fold pre until you know villain is 3b a very wide range at which point it becomes a 4b jam pre.
Certainly noteworthy that villain 3b NAI J9o @ 24BB then spews off his stack with basically zero equity vs your flop continuing range.
Spewtards are such a sporting fish :P
