Pre Flop: Hero is BTN with A

UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.50, SB raises to $7.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $21.25, SB calls $13.75

Flop: ($43.50) K

(2 players)
SB checks
Hero???

I think villain has a very narrow range here. If I run pokerstove w/ QQ+,AKs,AKo, my equity in the pot is 51.6%, addiing JJ+ makes it 65%.

Flatting my 4-bet makes AK very likely since he is shoving KK+ pre. What do I do on this flop? The only bet is a shove. He's folding JJ or QQ obv.

Check behind and call a turn shove.
Dont forget to pray though.

If he checks turn, shove he will call with JJ/QQ.

I think 99+ is probably in a random's range here. I kinda like firing really small, trying to get him to shove whatever he has, maybe like $12 or so, but that's just me. And of course if he calls shove any turn. And I'm not getting away from this hand like ever.

Reads???? Has he been 3betting a lot? Aggressive? Passive? etc.

Not a fan of your 4bet size pre, it very rarely gets flatted, and villain may fold AK/QQ as it's clear you are never folding. I like a flat IP, a smaller 4bet, or a shove (let them put you on AK). The choice of which would depend on READS.

As played check back flop, checking turn is an option too (make him think you really have air), as it's only 3/4 pot and you're AI. Never folding this hand after putting this much in pre.
