Only the flush and straight draws are your clean outs and you won’t get to realise that equity in theory and in practice.
You're folding AKs to a minraise cold 4bet? We only need like 20% equity to call here. Even out of position any hand with any kind of playability is a call. A hand as strong as AKs can't be folded here.
Yeah, never folding to that size. Don't typically raise either. Money's going in on that flop so whatever. Lol at villain. Just take a second to think about your own range here. I'm going to guess it absolutely smashes villain's holding.
What range does villain need to have for you to fold AKs to a cold min 4bet?
What range do you think villain has?
This is a defend in theory but not vs pop
I would need to know for certain that he is only playing AA that way.
He minclicked a MP open and SB 3bet. It's fair to say he isn't the best poker player out there. I'm not going to speculate on his range but it isn't only AA.
I agree that against the population at 5NL a BB cold 4bet is almost always super strong but you can't ignore pot odds. I would probably be calling my whole range here because it's going to be really hard for any hand I am 3betting a MP open to not realize 20% equity against a likely fish even OOP.
The weird 5 bet should have been a shove. You could also flat the 4bet instead which I prefer when the AK is suited. All the money is always going in on that flop with your hand whatever the action is. And lol at the 22.
It's a call even vs KK+/AK where you can only realise your flush and straight equity?
The 10% of the time you flop a flush draw you'll have to pay bad odds to see a turn, and you'll never cooler anyone.
The 10% you flop a straight draw you're drawing to split or get thin value from AA/KK.
The few times you flop a pair you'll split or be crushed.

And I will wager we have less than 2bb of EV across all flops. Most of this EV will come from flopping the flush draw.

It's a mistake to make assumptions about ranges across all situations based on one sizing they used.
Of course we are calling pocket pairs here to setmine though yes.
I usually just shove PF here but think it's hard to pick too bad of an option (edit: don't fold though wow). Smaller 4-bet if we're not shoving though.
