Default Re: AK suited in BB. Flop hits nothing. What\'s the move here?

You're in the BB, and CO is short enough that you should push PF. It looks like a resteal and gets calls from AQ/AJ maybe even the occasional AT/KQ/Ax (against a weaker player). You're going to miss the flop 2/3 times, and when you push now the only hands that call are the ones that beat you (you lose AQ/AJ maybe AT that would call the PF push some % of the time).

You do pick up some folding equity on smaller pairs when an overcard (non A or K) flops, but I don't think it makes up for the equity loss when AQ/AJ folds on the flop.

As played, push the flop. You do have some folding equity against the small to medium pairs that fear AA/KK/QQ.
