There was actually a great post here a few days back by a noob about the value of 4 betting AK.It actually made me wonder if i play AK too soft in certain situations esp out of position like here.Mehhh,still on the fence usually in these situations vs. unknown.

just sat down? push, makes you look crazy

pushing definitely +EV unless he's insanely tight.

Pushing with AKs in this spot without reads is fine. You tell the player who will have position on you for the rest of the session that you will not be pushed around. All the better if you call and win your coin flip against QQ ---like I did last night [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If you call, you will have to fold most of the flops if you miss.

If you call and hit an ace or king, you won't probably get a lot of action from hands you beat that are afraid of overcards (e.g. QQ/JJ) and who will put you on AK.

3 options here

A) call and see a flop
- you arent gonna get paid much this way since any A / K that flops is gonna scare of his 99+ or whatever unless he hits a set. But you stack KQ/AQ/AJ etc.

B) raise to $33, call a shove
- hes gonna be calling more here and you have to slow down and not auto shove ALL flops

C) shove
