Hi.

What do you do in such spots? What is your plan for the hand when we are 160 bb deep?

BTN was 38/25 with 8% 3B, fold to 3B 0% ( 7 times ).
BB was 53/14.

Pre-Flop: ($0.07, 6 players) Hero is UTG A K
Hero raises to $0.15, 2 folds, BTN raises to $0.50, 1 fold, BB calls $0.45, $0.35 to Hero ($8.26)?

4b to $1.05 and call a ship.

You haven't really given a sample on BTN, nor have you said that he's positionally aware or whatever so I'd flat being 160 bb deep with BTN and it being 5NL.

100bb I'm much happier 4b/c

your range is very much ahead of his i believe...you mostly flip but he could have like AQ AL KQ maybe even KJ if he 3bets OTB...i like flatting and playing postflop too

I see a loose fish on the button, who like to 3bet (it's true that 8% is not excessive but still high for these stakes and his 38/25 stats are also part of it) and who does NOT fold pre. I also see passive fish oop with a weak range.

I can't see how not to 4bet squeeze... I would expect a call from the btn and maybe the BB too. If the btn jams over you, you will get the odds to call, but AKs is a resilient hand with blockers so it's not a terrible spot. The beauty of squeezing is that since the btn never folds you get to play against the top 8% of his range (something like 88+, AJo+, ATs+, KTs+,QJs) with AKs (57.5% equity) and you WANT more money in before the flop, because positional advantage potflop will even out the extra equity you have over him. The BB guy is extra cream on the cake

Well that really depends on if villain actually does flat your 4bet with dominated hands.

Stats at the moment were after about 150 hands. Ok, so suppose I 4B to let's say 1.2 and btn calls. What is our plan if we miss?

"Ok, so suppose I 4B to let's say 1.2 and btn calls. What is our plan if we miss?"

My style is to 3 barrel any dry board and leave enough to pot the river. Wet boards i would cbet once (to fold out low/medium PP) and give up depending on how wet they are. If his fold 2 cbet is high, you could decide to cbet once on dry boards too, but it's hard to believe that a guy with these stats is the fit-or-fold type. His range is capped and yours isn't, so when you bet-bet-bet he's in a tough spot unless he hits his set and will fear an overpair. Just remember to make small precise bets on flop and turn so u can pot river.
