3 bettor - 39/35/25 24 hands
overcaller 33/23/0 34 hands

Small samples on both, tend to never know what to do with AK after being 3b UTG, vs these 2 opponents though i like 4b/f. I like the idea of 4b/f as standard as we block stack off ranges but on Upswing it's a flat so i mostly stick to that.

Seems like a jam OTF? This guy can have any random broadways and we have decent equity vs 99 etc anyway

PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.10/$0.25 - 6 players

I tend to believe that 4 bet ranges are going to be slightly wider because of the extra dead money in the pot from the BTN. I would never 4b/f AK personally and would prefer a 4b/c. Even though BTN is a fish I would generally give him a range of AJs+, TT-QQ. This also means that BTN may also hold an A which also blocks AA from MP's 3 betting range.

Also if you do decide to 4 bet and MP does shove AI, assuming BTN folds then we are getting (17.56+26.15-2.21) / (26.15-7.50) : 1 = 2.23:1 which means you need 31% to break even. I'm pretty sure against a range of QQ+, AK you are definitely getting that.

No way I’m jamming this flop, you’re just bluffing with the best hand when you get folds. X/c much better and you can check your AA 100% of the time and just ship KK/QQ since this board is 3 blanks.

do you know for a fact btn is a fish?
4b seems like the worst option pre, esp 4b/f 30bb
I like calling much better
if you assume btn gets to the flop with TT-QQ, AK, AQs, open shipping is mby very slightly +ev, since 35-40% of his range is A high and it's not like anyone folds a pair in a big pot like this
if he's a confirmed fish and he's likely to have more A highs here, like AQo/AJs, shipping becomes better
either way you can't really c/c flop so it's either ship if he's fishy and continues with too many broadways or c/f otherwise.

Don’t like getting AK in from UTG, especially against MP, tends to be beat from experience
