Default AKs, I can\'t possibly fold here right?

I only have about 40 hands on villian he's running 20/15/2.5. I'm playing pretty nitty at this table 15/10/2 partly because I'm getting a bad run of cards and I had an 80/16 on my left for a while.

I will 4bet preflop a good amount, I chose against it because my raise came from UTG, and it was so small it felt like he wanted a call and I had no FE if I came over the top. My turn bet is so big because I'm trying to make it look like a steal in hopes that he comes back over the top. I think he considered it as he took a while to call.

Now on the river I mean I really can't fold but can I hope to ever win the whole pot here? 99 and AQ have to make up a big part of his range to push here as does another AK, and I can't imagine bluffs being more than a very small percent of his range.

With such a small reraise preflop, I might be tempted to 4bet this hand here. Why arn't you raising the flop? What are you scared of? I wouldn't fold this, but I would of put in a raise somewhere down the line with this hand.

That's exactly why I didn't raise the flop I wasn't scared of anything. If I raise he folds every hand I'm beating, and he's never folding AK and he may even be able to get away from AQ. So what purpose does a raise serve? I'm sure he doesn't have a hand that could be drawing to a flush so if he doesn't have AA or AK he has 2 or 3 outs, so I can give him a free card without being worried too much about paying for it.

By simply calling I can bet any turn if he checks and he may call light because with his small 3bet my range is incredibly wide and includes flush draws.

Getting 3:1 and having the second nuts behind only flopped quads is enough to call this all day long...

I'm behind a very possible AQ as well.

Behind AQ also. Still call, though.

Easy call, although I am the idiot who made a steamy post about analyzing my river play with KK on an AK227 board earlier...
