As you read, I decided to 5 bet with AK. The 5 bet was rather on the smallish side as i wanted to go heads up with the BTN. The CO played a wide range of hands but was extremely passive pre-flop. I also wanted to size my 5 bet rather small in case the CO jammed for his remaining stack.This is exactly what happened and the BTN snap called leaving me with a though decision since the pot was on the rather larger side. I ended up folding having a feeling that the CO had me dominated. To my surprise the CO just decided to go bananas with KJ, however the BTN woke up with AA. Probably would have ended up getting stacked by the BTN if the CO folded to my 5 bet.
