25/50 Ugly preflop spot with AK

ugh i hate calling w/ AK in spots like these for obvious reverse implied odds reasons, though I think calling is clearly better than the alternatives.

our hand is going to look so much like what it is on tons of flops... but i'd almost always flat aces and kings here, so it looks good with shania

nobody ever expects the straight call with AK from MP 3-way...

already under-reppd the strength of your hand by not raising UTG so def call call call!

[Daut44]

every option is fine

i actually like the fact that we're deep enough to fold to a 5bet if we 4bet (i highly doubt he will try some [censored] like this, he will probably level himself thinking you cold called 2nd to act with a huge hand)

i like call the best though

200bb - call
100bb - push and get called by AQ
