Not sure with my c bet here. I feel he is going to be very pair heavy so I probably dont fold out anything except AK which I obviously block

Your range is going to be so narrow when you 4bet, I would either bet all of it or none of it. I wouldn't recommend just cbetting pairs and not cbetting AK though. Not really loving the 4bet at these stakes though, villain's 3bet range is going to be pretty tight as it is.

edit: and we don't want to be stacking off with AK

It just kind of sucks x/f AK out of position.
How would you play the hand?

4-bet smaller or flat pre. Would tend to flat without reads. You don't always have to check/fold if you flat and don't hit a pair.

With AK I flat here pre against an unknown fully stacked, he folds anything we have a lot of equity against and if he raises we are either flipping for our stack or crushed. I learned this the hard way, many times.

60bbs and less I 4 bet and shove any flop if called unless I crush it and check to induce.
