At these lower limits I really don't love having a large 4-bet/bluffing range, specially when I know the opponent is some type of aggro type.
Okay that ranges are very dynamic in situations where SB 3-bets versus BTN, but even so we must pick up our combos to 4-bet for bluff very carefully.

What I do is very simple, so I don't commit blunders at the micros:

4-bet for Value = 3% of hands = JJ+, AQs+, AKo (and sometimes we aren't 4-betting JJ and QQ or we aren't 4-betting JJ and QQ a 100% of times)

4-bet for bluff = 3% of hands = (example) AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, AQo

I like to have real blockers on my 4-bet for bluff range, otherwise we are trying to get pretty fancy on a stake/limit where players aren't thinking that much (many players are just jamming preflop TT+ or JJ+ regardless of any reading or strategy).

Even at higher stakes, such as 25 NLHE or 50 NLHE, I am not a great fan of being that much creative. I rather being mediocre and profitable, so I don't use these types of combos almost never, unless I am very sure about fold equity preflop.

If we are 4-betting combos such as QJo, our 4-bet range becomes very large and easy to exploit, because it would appear something like this:

AQs-A2s, KTs+, QTs+, AQo-AJo, KJo+, QJo (9% of hands)

Let's consider this very quick here, our 4-bet FOR VALUE RANGE is equal to 3%.
How could it be that our 4-bet FOR BLUFF RANGE is equal to 9%?

We observe that we are 4-betting 3% more often than we should and this makes quite a great difference at the end of the day/week/month/year.
