Default NL200: AK unimproved vs tag - easy fold?

Villain is 20/14/2

My options here is push on flop that I think really weak because if I call and get my A/K I will ahead.
Another option is to push on flop but I really don't sure about it - can villain do check to induce my bet? Or can his turn bet be a bluff from AQ? anyway I feel I can't call turn bet here.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $243
UTG+1: $229.70
Hero: $189.70
Button: $261.15
SB: $223.45
BB: $200

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $8</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $27</font>, 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $84</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($171, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($171, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $116</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $116 returned to UTG.

Final pot: $171

I think PF is a fold or a push, and I'm leaning towards a fold.

As played PF, I play the flop and turn the same...

try and always keep your stack at 100bb's. i noticed that you only had $189 here. as played PF i think calling is 4bet is pretty weak. we called off like half of our stack when most of the time we're drawing to 3 outs. i think pf it's fold&gt;shove&gt;call. as played i'd check fold.

The guy is UTG making this more likely a fold than a push. If he was on the button I would shove over top.

Just to reiterate: you are not deep enough to make this call pf. Furthermore, being OOP, I'm not sure I like calling the 4bet 200 bb deep.

Push or fold to the 4bet, depending on your image and villain's image. I usually push.

I fold here unless I've been pushing villain around with reraises or have a good read over a lot of hands that he might do this with less than QQ+.

OP, do you think calling off 1/2 your stack preflop with the intention of folding to a non-A, non-K flop is a +EV play?

Honestly
