Default AKs preflop

Villain in the blind who reraises is unknown. The 2 callers are way too loose preflop.

I find it very hard to play AK in 3-bet pots. I don't like to 4-bet it, but when missing the flop and people firing I can't call no more I guess.

Are we just calling here and play from there? Reraising? Folding? I really don't have a clue.

BB ($100)
UTG ($52)
Hero ($136.15)
CO ($39.85)
Button ($118.95)
SB ($106.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I'll fold fairly often here, sometimes push depending on my reads on the opponents. I wont call.

Have you been active at the table? I lean towards pushing in this spot.

I call here with those two callers. Get out if you don't flop an ace, king, or nut flush draw.

calling is pretty bad. when you do hit it's tough to get paid off by worse hands and tough to get away from when you're beat. also, if you're just folding when you miss you're paying too much pre to make it worth it, even without the postflop problems i mentioned.

i'd usually 4bet it, if villian doesn't reraise very often a fold is ok. since you say he's unknown i'd lean towards a 4bet since there's some extra money already in the pot from the cold-callers. that being said i don't play these stakes and don't really know what kind of range to expect from an unknown.
