20€ bi, 500p, 8hnd, 50k starting stack
Hero: 300k on 4/8k blinds close to the bubble
weak random short player flats bb utg
LoJack: very tight passif (10/9 and 7%3b) player makes it 24k
Hero: AKss in the high jack and just flats 24k
Vilain: table CL in sb (580k) 3bet to 120k (not enough hands played against but does not seem too spewy)
Utg folds
Lojack intial 3bettor folds (?!, must be folding KQss, AJss, AQo, and 77 to 1010?!)
I tank max and 4bet jam AKss
Vilain snapps with AA aaaaaaaaaand... we out
My opinion, I thought that having hidden the real stregnth of my hand, I m more enclined to 4bet jam facing a big size 3bet. which could be a squeeze.
But now I think that this might have been a punt because:
1st: the initial OOP raiser is very tight passif so the 3bettor should know that the range he will be facing has to be pretty nutted
2nd: because the raiser was so range nutted, i first decided to go to the streets and to see a flop IP vs him
3rd: we are pretty close to the bubble and there's no need to play a high variance strategy
4th: when vilain 3bets that big OOP(120k over a 24k raise sitting on 580k), he s totally polarized: air or QQ+ but at the same time, I block AA, KK and Ak and i even thought that he might in fact have the same hand (AK)
So in conclusion, should I ve folded or should i ve flatted, regarding pot odds and being IP with AKss (drawing dead only to AA which we do block)?
Was my 4bet jam a total useless and suicidal punt?

To finish my thought: with these stacks villains 3bet should be pretty honest - no air in his range.
It's still hard to get away from AKs here, but expect to be flipping a lot and barely ever beeing ahead.
