Hi all,
2/5, table is short 4-handed, hero tight, V is pro/tight who normally plays 1/3 but has been dipping into 2/5 waters lately. He just lost a big $700 pot.
Two limps from recs and V SB $40, hero AKo BB $160 off a $350 stack, folds to V who asks how much I'm playing and rips $350 eff. I snap called.
Where did I go wrong this hand if anywhere?
Thanks,
DT

Seems like you would want more money on the table.
Late night game closing situation? New game just starting? Must move game?
Put more money on the table is my answer.

4 handed this is a cooler unless villain is a nit. You need villain's raising range from SB to be excessively tight for a 4 handed game before your raise is wrong. And then you need his shoving range to be AA/KK before your not priced in.

Just shove pre, I don't get 3betting half your stack.

You can have plenty of reasons why you're playing this short, so I'm not really going to comment on that. As played, it's a very ABC hand. Slam dunk 3!/GII situation playing 4 handed with 70bb. Really the only decision in this hand is whether to just jam instead of raising half your stack, which is what I would have done.

3-bet sizing is bad. I’d go $100-ish IP with these stack sizes. No reason to size so that V knows you are calling off 100% of your range.
Boring standard hand otherwise. Surely you can come up with something more interesting to post.

Agree the only room for improvement is smaller 3! Leaves more room for villains to make error postflop. So you could go maybe $115-125 and still rip all flops if you want. At even smaller you can consider xfolding some bad board textures.
