Default AK in rr and coldcalled pot

5/10 6max Bodog

I had been at the table for awhile and it was pretty tight. I had raised the last 2 hands and took it down preflop. I am likely viewed as pretty loose preflop.
stack sizes of both villains ~950, i cover

I'm utg with AKo, raise to 35
cutoff repots to 110, and sb calls

I know its only 95bb deep, but im oop against one player and sb calls out of position an utg raiser and a rr. What are the merits of pushing, calling, folding?

Seems like a fold to me. If you hit an A or a K you're prolly not stacking anyone--but you might get stacked or tie. And every time you miss the flop you lose (when you call of course).

Edit-- So i guess I don't like a call at all.

Look like a push. Some of this money is probably dead, maybe all of it, and you're rarely in bad shape.

I really don't like a push here. It's way too much and SB either has a monsterhand or some lower PP imo. You also can't discount a good hand for co, so you may not get called this time, but if you get called you are way behind. This makes the push EV- imo.

Folding is a safe option, but also a little weak.

You are in MP and to the right of the raiser which makes the hand a little bit easier to play. You also get nice pot odds for calling this bet and play some nice postflop poker from there. I would always check this flop, no matter what falls, and see what the action will be. So my choice would be to just call and play with caution.

I call here

I dont really like a shove given CO 3 bet your UTG raise and the SB cold called, and we have no ranges for either of these players

Could people explain why they want to 'push' or 'fold'. Oneliners won't help me improve my game a tiny bit.

I agree folding AK like this preflop seems weak.

A call gives some can bring some problems. I miss the flop and fold. I hit a K and maybe win 1 bet or lose my stack, or tie against AK, if I hit an A i should be pretty good as its very unlikely someone would have AA. But also I would not get action from KK or QQ here

Pushing looks the best the more I think about it. The dead money in there plus folding out QQ or JJ often enough to make it profitable. 6max table when I have AK its so unlikley AA is out there. Anyone with other ideas or criticisms of my way of thinking feel free to respond. Thanks

Doubt it. Maybe TT-.

I think it's pretty close between push and fold. The fact that you've been aggro pre makes me want to push, but that SB CC is usually pretty damn strong, and it's an UTG raise and CO RR, so ranges tend to be a bit tighter here.
