Did you have any reads on your opponent? On the kind of pre-flop re-raising range he might have? This is really important.

Generally if you are going to call with AK pre-flop, you will very often have to stack off if you hit tptk. This looks like a good spot to do so - AA and 99 are the only plausible hands that beat you. Maybe something like JTs. Not very many combinations of hands anyway. He could be betting AK/AQ/AJ for value, bluffing, or not giving up with his KK/QQ.

I agree that if you plan on calling the 3bet preflop, then you get ready to go to felt if you hit. Given the board texture, the player behind and how much I'd have to commit by calling flop, I go ahead and raise all-in on the flop. Yes we loose some bets vs BB folding a worse hand, but we can't let Button draw for right price then stack off to him IMHO. But I'd like to hear others thoughts.

If you're calling the flop, you have to call this turn. I'm not sure how you consider folding this.

That said, I raise the flop.

I think w/ two dudes in the pot with you, you're probably beat.

IMO- raise the flop (to $6.50 or higher). By calling- you give BTN very good odds to stay in pot. If either have the 10- they are making a pretty big mistake calling your raise.

As played, I don't think you can fold the turn- there's so much money in he pot already. You're getting 4:1 so not that bad- plus you beat any weak aces.

Thanks for ya alls supporting my post!
I just sat on the table for a few hands,so I didnt have any stats from BB and BTN. Its kind of hard to play with these guys that i dont have any thought about their styles. So i intend to fold at first time, then catch him up next few hands when i have his stats on.
Like RedSoxFan said with two dudes in this pot,i was probaly be beaten. I considered raising the pot,but my hand wasnt strong enough, and that could be a donative raising.Cuz any cards out could make me a strong hand, but it could make my oppenents a best hand(a flushdraw, str draw, or may be already a set make a fullhouse)

shove the flop. I'm not really a huge fan of PF either.

unknown, probably. Calling has its merits sometimes but meh.
