General Info about the table:

It's a quite crazy 2/5 Table. A lot of Hands get raised big and go Multiway. There is a fare amount of 3 betting going on.

I was carddead and didn't played a lot of hands, but when i played i put pressure on my opponnents.

TTH:

Hero has AK UTG and i opened big for 30 and got 5 callers.

Flop (180): 4:diamond 5K
Hero leads for 100 one Villian folded and the Villian next to act made it 300 very quickly.
The others fold and it's back on me.
Description of Villian: He started the Hand with about 850 and Hero covers.
Villian was involved in some hands, but i never saw him raising big. He called more than he raised. He has no K4 and K5 in his range due to preflop action. Maybe some discountet 45 or 67. I think he is raising some Flushdraws but not all of them. I'm not sure if he is raising KQ and KJ but probably not to many. Can i just fold here right away? Calling doesn't make sense for me because i have to go broke anyway if i call the first bet.
So what is your move?

You need to be going bigger pre if $30 is going 5 ways, and the table is notorious for going mw pre. I would start at $40 and see how it goes.

Have you seen villain raise with draws post flop, and that's why you know he has them in his range? If so, why do you say that he's raising with some, but not all? He surely has 55 and 44 in his range, especially if he has 54s and 76s. Why do you figure that he might be raising with some KQ, KJ, but not all?

Based on the information in your post, I would just gii now, given being oop. Against the general population, I would just fold.

I didn't saw him raising a lot. He was more the guy who called a lot of bets. He was for sure tight enough to not have K4 and K5 in his preflop calling range, but i would guess 45ss and 67ss he is calling sometimes with, but still its only a guess.
The only hands that beat us an make sense is 44, 55 and a discounted KK.
To be honest i think he wouldn't raise KQ without
But folding the top of our range feels so bad in this high SPR spot.

I think that the pre-flop should have been larger. You could have gone $40-$50. That helps to polarise V ranges.

If V hasn't got out of line and hasn't made any 3! it's an easy fold. There are so many draws that get there, not to mention made sets. If you face an all-in on the turn without improving (if you do - you could already be drawing dead), then it's a worse position.

I guess because you've been card dead for while folding a premium hand isn't as simple as it seems at the time?

What do you mean with there are so many draws that get there? It was on the flop. There where so many fish and bad players at the table. I hadn't focused on this Villian, but he seemed standard kind of passive.
I ended up shoving because i thought he has AK most of the time himself. He snaped me off with AA. Couldn't fold my premium after 7 hours of watching --> nice session

Is it really a good strategy to raise 10bb preflop? I started with 20 (4bb) to open a pot and went to 30 because there was so much calling.
