NL200: AK unimproved vs tag - easy fold?
 

Villain is 20/14/2

My options here is push on flop that I think really weak because if I call and get my A/K I will ahead.
Another option is to push on flop but I really don't sure about it - can villain do check to induce my bet? Or can his turn bet be a bluff from AQ? anyway I feel I can't call turn bet here.

I think PF is a fold or a push, and I'm leaning towards a fold.

As played PF, I play the flop and turn the same...

try and always keep your stack at 100bb's. i noticed that you only had $189 here. as played PF i think calling is 4bet is pretty weak. we called off like half of our stack when most of the time we're drawing to 3 outs. i think pf it's fold&gt;shove&gt;call. as played i'd check fold.

The guy is UTG making this more likely a fold than a push. If he was on the button I would shove over top.

Just to reiterate: you are not deep enough to make this call pf. Furthermore, being OOP, I'm not sure I like calling the 4bet 200 bb deep.

Push or fold to the 4bet, depending on your image and villain's image. I usually push.

I fold here unless I've been pushing villain around with reraises or have a good read over a lot of hands that he might do this with less than QQ+.

Wtf did you just call half your stack preflop with AKs? Gross.

Shove or fold preflop. I shove fwiw ..

Re: NL200: AK unimproved vs tag - easy fold?
 

OP, do you think calling off 1/2 your stack preflop with the intention of folding to a non-A, non-K flop is a +EV play?

Honestly

either push or fold PF to a 4bet with AK
