Obv preflop is not standard at all, but recently iven been experimenting with mixing up my preflop game with hands that could easily decieve bad players. The small stack here is super Lag, plays like 50/30 so were obv ahead of his range, but the guy who shoved plays like a 23/12 over 1200 hands. However this is the second tiem in the last few orbits that he has over shoved his entire stack facing a 3 bet, so Im starting to wonder if his stats are a little deceiving

fold like a cheap hooker who got hit in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face.

how is this close, im a [censored] station and even i know this is a fold

ok consensus is this is an easy fold, which is exactly what I thought, and I folded quick, but the big stack turned up aq

I did feel it was a bluff, but that doesn't mean you can't fold. I would've thought he'd have AK given big stack, aggression, and history... so not far off.

Easy fold. If Big Stack folds don't you push on the dufus BB?

Plenty of high stakes players would have called it. Nobody else's gonna call, AK vs big stack, only a dog against AA, underdog vs KK, close to even vs all other pocket pairs. He's got big stack more likely to be slightly looser vs short stack so him holding AK AQ even AJ very possible, so why not? As it turned out he did have AQ very close to my read.

High stakes tables given same relative stack sizes short vs big, at least 20-30% of the time short stack calls with AK.
