Default AK vs a habitual 3-better

This guy keeps three betting me like 5 times in 3 orbits (that's how long I've played since I came). I folded all times so far. The guy on his left also three bet me like three times. The last time the guy on his left three bet me (it was button vs sb) I 4-bet him and he folded.

The weird thing is that for the previous raises, I am pretty sure he used the pot button or at least typed in larger amounts. How do I play this? He is like 20/19 over a 100 hand sample.

I hate situations like these. The majority of the time he won't even be able to call a 4-bet but when you finally decide to push back he has the nuts. I've experienced a ton of the same thing lately. And I'm no where near loose. I run about 20/15/4.

There was a guy the other night who would raise every time it was folded to him in the CO or the button. I mostly folded to him, pry about 10 times in a row when he did this, and finally 3-bet him once when i was BB and he called. I c-bet flop w/ K high and he just about timed out and folded. About 4 orbits later I smooth called him and c/r the flop w/ a big str8 and flush draw. Turn blank and I bet again but he pushed. I was getting about 2.5 to 1 but folded b/c I figured had to have 2 pr or a set. I guess these guys always have monsters, cuz no semi-bluffing or bluffing allowed.

Same guy, different table, would 3-bet me almost any time I raised from CO or otb when he was in the blinds. I just don't know how to react to that type of aggression except to 4-bet with some marginal hands. Funny thing is this villain runs about 20/19...just as the one you are describing. I wonder...

Call and check-shove flop looks much better if your going to play it that way imo.
