$300 Effective

Villain: 3Bet to $20
Hero: (B) 4Bet to $100 with AA
EP: (Initial Raiser) Fold
Villain Calls $100

(Pot: ~$240)

Flop: K78 rainbow

Villain donk jams for $200 more

Hero: ???

Initially though his shoving range was 3 combos KK, 1 combo of AA and a few combos of AK, but the more I think about it, the more I think he just check calls with his set of KK.

Am I torching money by folding here?

Easy call. Yes, it would be really weird for him to just shove KK here. It's a weird play no matter what, but extra weird with KK.

Snap call. Expect AK or KQ a lot.

Folding is extremely bad.

Your 4bet is enormous. What was the initial raise size, as the 3bet itself seems small? A more normal 4bet size would be ~50 or so.

As played folding would be atrocious

Even if you are beat 100% of the time here, Villain called so much preflop that you have to look him up.

Snap call. It’s not close. As others have said, folding is terrible.

He probably flatted your 4bet with AK, KK woulda probably jammed pre. It's 200 into 240, a reasonable bet with aces on a king high flop. Call

100% call.

If he had KK he most likely would have 5bet, and I doubt he jams the nuts on the flop. Highly doubt he's calling off 1/3 his stack pre with 77/88/78?

It looks exactly like AK. I guess at 1/2 there's always the chance of some random spaz though.

Its not a fist bump the dealer call. But it's a clear call. He only has to have AK 1/3rd of the time to make it a good call. Would not be shocked to see KK though.

The pot is already $440 and it's only $200 for you to call with the topmost of pairs. This is nearly as trivial of a call as you can make in poker. Whether he has your beat or not is completely irrelevant.
