With your read I think you can let this go. We're hoping for AJs/AQ here, plus you're OOP.

Extremely standard.

I don't understand this. Those are just some stats over a small sample. Don't you think villain could have more than just AA/KK/QQ/AK? I know it sucks to be oop with a hand that misses most of the time, but isn't that still a call?

I'd 4bet before I flat called.

I'm going to challenge the wisdom on this.

That's the top 8% of hands, which is his raising range. We are still ahead of it, and he is probably raising even a little wider, seeing as he is the first player in in the CO. We will be OOP, but if the player is bad, we can still outplay him post flop. I say this is a call.

4-bet or fold. Problem with AK is when an A or K flops, your probably only getting action when your beat. Assuming a weaker Ace is not in his range.
