4bet is fine, fold turn

You have position so flatting pre is fine, but if you want to 4bet I think you need to go bigger, just giving him odds to call. make it 17 -19. but only 4 bet that big if your ok with calling a ship which I would in this spot.

Yea 4-bet is fine but with position and a great hand I don't mind flatting and keeping worse As in.

Making it 17-19 is commiting over a third of our stack, it's unbalanced because we can't really fold anything at that point.

Sizing is fine with position.

I think you should go ahead and bet flop, the 3s being pretty key here. I don't want to be checking too much in these spots with AK particularly vs potentially smart/aggro regs.

Fold now, i mean i have no idea if you think you can actually continue here but there's clearly no way you can.

this is a standard and an easy 4bet, flatting with AK against 18% 3bet is a bad play. i would cbet that flop small considering we have 2 overs and gutshot nut draw. when u check he knows u have nothing and it s too easy for him to shove the turn with anything.

^what if v check shoves AQ KQs 89s etc

You think we'll never sometimes have a hand ourselves in this spot?

im saying i think bet folding would be bad if villain can shove worse

His 3-betting frequency is only part of the picture. How villain responds to 4-bets is much more important in my opinion as to whether calling or flatting AK in position shows a higher expected value.

Personally I think you could choose whichever one you like in this scenario, especially with AKs. AKo is probably better as a 4bet.

As far as betting the flop what are you hoping to accomplish? What hands are you expecting to fold that flat a 4bet? How do expect to fold a hand that called a flop bet at any later point in the hand with our SPR on this flop?

Hand seems fine if you fold turn.

Shove flop.

I like your line pre and on the flop.

Pre: You have AKs from the cutoff, seems pretty standard in your position. Flatting is good if the guy is SUPER nitty or vs. a reg that 3bets a lot and you think will fold to a lot of 4b.

Flop: There aren't many hands in villain's range that give up on this flop. Also, a lot of them check shove. You have the nut gutter and can continue to river on any turn A or K.

Turn: Fold.
