utg raiser is a big fish , the 3bettor is a aggro reg who isolate very often the fish .I opted to call with a hand who plays well multiway and keep the fish in the pot(we are also deep) ! is ok ?

yeah its aight.

it's fine. it's especially good if you play well postflop.

Flatting is the best option. If we 4ball we isolate the regular and force out the fish (ofc if the fish is especially bad and we expect him to come along with a wide range even if we 4bet then 4betting is the best option. However pretty unlikely as most fish aren't completely brain dead so 4balling probes isn't the best option here.)

Our hand plays v.well vs the regs wide range and we dominate a lot of the fishes range and who will undoubtedly make a tonne of mistakes post flop.

Even though we have worst position in the hand and we also let a reg play in position with a wide range this is negated due to our decent equity and our opportunity to stack the fish.

Another plus is we may induce something from the fish such as getting it in light pre flop as a bluff.

you sure the fish is folding for $15 more? reg might. i would like this play alot more if you were in position. you dont even have good relative position. you have to act in between, so how can you trap the fish when you hit?

Stove AKs vs random range. Not that great. I would say this deep, stacking off w/ any tptk with AK vs these guys is going to be a -EV play. Your hand is pretty faceup. Also UTG probably has a pp alot and is going to play fit or fold. Given this, position is super important. We dont even have position on the fish! Betting goes through us first and you are going to get screwed often in a three way 3 bet pot with a weird stack to pot ratio.
