1/2 at Texas Cardhouse, full ring. V1 is Old Lady Coffee - plays very passive, and misses a number of "obvious" value bets because of MUBS. V2 is Middle Aged Frappuchino - standard player at these stakes.

Hero is in the SB with AKo. Sitting on $200, V1 and V2 have about $400.

Blinds post $1 and $2, V1/MP raises to $10, folds to V2/HJ who calls $10, folds to Hero/SB who raises to $50.(???) V1/MP calls $40, V2/HJ calls $40.

Pot is $153
Flop is Q T 3r. Hero shoves $150 ???

This is definitely a weird spot given stack sizes. How do both Vs view you? Do they view you as a solid TAG or spazzy? Do you think we are getting KQ, QJs, KJ to fold here?
I think I like 3betting to like $35 here so that we have $165 behind and a pot of $105. I don't think this is a terrible play but I don't really like it.
Maybe cbet something like $65 into the $150 and take it from there.
I guess the question is would you rip $150 into a pot of $150 with AA or KK here. I would assume not so it makes this move look super bluffy to me even though we have some equity in case we do get called.

Depends on their calling range pre. Probably something like ATs+, AJo, QQ-22. If that's the case it's fine.

Really this is just a range/math problem.
