I'd fold this hand. UTG raises representing strength and then puts in a 4th bet. Although in position, do you want to put in 40% of your stack to see a flop? I don't think you can just call, this is a push or fold imo. Will the villain 4-bet with a hand you are ahead of? At best, it's a coinflip i think.

I'd fold without a read.

he prob has QQ or AA just fold you don't want to be racing for your money

Re: 25NL: AK 4b by UTG
 

Folding AK to a 4 bet here is just fine. Against an opponent that is 34/18, you will have probably have a lot of other opportunities to take his money.

i would fold also, but i don't mind races. if villan's range included all pp's, you wouldn't fold.

OP: fold. He was UTG and your reraise screams strength and he pots it back to you. Seems like an instamuck. QQ doesn't usually play like this unless you have a super aggressive image.

Fold; his range is narrow here and it is crushing yours.

You are either a large dog or a small dog and almost never a favorite. Fold. I don't think he is doing this w/ QJs.
