Should we just be ripping this in with 150bb stacks and sizing tell by UTG? At 100bb I'm default shoving but I'm wondering if we should exploit fold in this context.

If we call, wouldn't we just be priced in and GII on most flops anyway?

SB: 248.8 BB
BB: 133.4 BB
UTG: 137.8 BB
CO: 102.2 BB
Hero (BTN): 226.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q

UTG raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, Hero raises to 11.8 BB, fold, fold, UTG raises to 42 BB, fold, hero?

I would say its player dependent. if UTG is 12/10/3 then sure fold.

Theoretically without reads you should probably never fold.

I often see people overplay AK and if that is the case in this spot he can have
16 combos of AK and 1 of QQ and your good.
He can also sometimes be punting with AQs and JJ or TT, or something weird
if he is not a regular, so without the read Im not folding.

Thanks. I folded because omg AA/KK but I agree in retrospect this is probably AK enough to realise equity. I suppose I would rather be jamming my own AK here, and so maybe calling to bluff-catch is more profitable. Running away on A/Kxx flops

I usually just don’t have a 5 bet range vs utg 4bets, cause I don’t really want to bluff or even jam AK/QQ here.
