Default Re: NL 25: Very basic, just learning. Do something else with my AK p

whatever you do, don't just call the 4bet -- what you did was fine. Folding is fine too.

In a vacuum, they're about equal EV wize. As you begin to widen or narrow villain's range beyond QQ-AA, AK with reads the pendulum shifts on folding and pushing. Here, UTG villain likes his hand enough to 4 bet and not push, tighter. He's a bit deep, tighter. He has position -- AK calls with position, tighter. 3rd person in pot, looser. Hero possibly squeezing, looser. Villain's AF? Hero's play up to this point? (might be most important.)

I lean ever so slightly to fold, but I'm really easy to convince the other way.

oh, and the raise the first time is 100% the right think to do. You don't want to flat call this pf oop.
