The first and last paragragh seem to repeat , just thought id point it out incase you havent noticed

If your opponent 3-bets light frequently, but is selective with flop
continuation bets:
 When small 4-betting against a savvy opponent, make sure
that at least 2/3 of the time you hold a hand that you plan to go
all the way with. If you 4-bet and fold to a shove more often
than about 1/3 of the time, you become exploitable. A savvy
player will begin to 5-bet you nearly every time you 4-bet.
You do not necessarily need a strong hand to 4-bet, however,
just one that has some showdown equity.
 Use a mixed strategy of small 4-betting and calling the 3-bet.
Tend to 4-bet with strong hands and sometimes with weak
hands. Since 4-betting is mostly a bluff, hand strength when 4-
betting doesn’t much matter, except that you must be willing
to get all-in with at least two-thirds of these hands in 100bb
games. Hands with aces in them, such as A3o, are particularly
good weak hands to 4-bet. Weak aces have a surprising
amount of equity against narrow ranges, typically over 30
percent. They are also poor for calling 3-bets with the intent to
push any draw or pair on the flop, because they rarely flop
draws.
 Call sometimes with very strong hands and also with hands
that have some postflop value.
 When calling with weak hands, remember to challenge many
pots aggressively. Fit-or-fold is not profitable.
 When small 4-betting, make sure that at least 2/3 of the time
you hold a hand that you plan to go all the way with. If you 4-
bet and fold to a shove more often than about 1/3 of the time,
you become exploitable. A savvy player will begin to 5-bet
you nearly every time you 4-bet.
