Hero's image is fairly tight, villain hasn't done anything out of ordinary to this point

Hero has 300, villain 400, one caller has 200, other at 300

Hero opens for 13 UTG with A

2 flat callers, then villain makes it 45 on the button

Folds to hero...what's the plan?

Call and see a flop unless you know villains 3bet range only consists of KK-AA

fold and take a note

if villain's stack size was 200, I probably make it 110 and commit. But obviously this depends on whether I think villain is capable of 3-betting with hands like AQ and JJ.

I don't want to play this multiway OOP. AK has bad implied odds. If we hit our hand, its hard to get much money out of QQ/JJ. There is a good chance villain also has AK and that we're folding to his cbet on almost every flop.

Fold or call is fine (I would call probably) but don't 4bet imo.

Also fwiw, when it's AKs it's ok to call more often OOP opposed to AKo
