Villain 1 - Likes to Open almost every pot, pretty much loose somewhat aggressive Pre but very straightforward and passive post flop.

Villain 2 - just sat down for maybe one orbit and hasn't really splashed around, my instincts told me typical reg.

9-handed Effective Stacks 200 1/2 blinds

***Villain 1 has a shorty with about 60 bucks.***

Villain 1 UTG makes it 10 (nothing unusual)
Villain 2 UTG + 1 3bets to 50
Folds to Hero on BTN
Hero is dealt (AcKh)
Hero ...

Heros play here?

I'd shove. I usually would fold against 2 full stacks. But with V1 being short and V2's big raise it looks like he wants to fold everyone out and play for stacks against V1. V1 range is weak and V2 is probably mid pair 77-JJ, maybe QQ and like AK-AJ. He'll fold alot of that to a shove and of course if you have to flip against V1 theres enough dead money to be +ev.

Wish u had more info on v2. If you think he's a decent reg then I prob shove. Bad players only do this with AA/KK.

It's an unknown, looking like a typical reg. By general guidelines I will construct a typical 3betting range of JJ+, AK. You have blockers to AA/KK and a shove may get JJ to fold. Go ahead and do whatever, folding isn't a mistake, and 4 betting isn't either. Add in the fact that you haven't put in a penny in the pot. It's only 100bb, but the worst you can do is flat.

So Folding slightly better or equal to 4! BUT >>>>>>>>>>>>>Flatting

I fold and move onto next hand. He's never calling with AQ/AJ so at best we are flipping at worst we are crushed. We have no money in pot so I don't see the point.

Fold.
How often is he 3-bet folding 50? He doesn't have AQ-

Such as easy fold. The idea of playing AK for stacks at live is not as relevent as it is online. Not close.

It's a pretty clear fold without a read at 1/2

Then try to convince myself I had a different hand and folding is the "cheapest" mistake I can make....
