Hows my line? Does anyone like calling villians 3bet? Villian is a standard tag.

I dont mind this at all. Calling his 3 bet is also fine since you are IP and a bit deeper than 100bbs.

Why do people just love to felt AK? With no history here at all I am calling his 3-bet and using position to my advantage, probably felting all flops that come A/K high!

Aside from that what is the history?

Once you 4-bet this, it's a snapcall.

Could've called the 3-bet here, though, especially given that he is somewhat tight.

I don't mind your line though.

Yeah I understand once I 4bet im committed to the hand. Do you think calling IP was optimal here?

My standard is to flat 3bets with AK IP HU and 4bet when there are more players in the pot or im OOP... IP you can just make so much more money with AK because you're still ahead of a good portion of his 3betting range.

If he hasn't been 3-betting you SB v BTN then I'd ere on the side of caution. If you regularly steal blinds and he regularly lets you then he has a very tight range here. One of the best reasons calling is better than 4-betting is that you have position and his range is very limited. It's pretty difficult to make a big mistake post flop by flatting in this situation.
