AK preflop fun

BB in this hand has just sat down, got him at 19/14 over 300 hands previous. Co has pushed over my raises 2-3 times so far within a 60 hand session, typical 60/10 donk. So basically, yey, ney or ewwwww? One of those things that felt right at the time

Yeah, should be fine if BB is 3betting out of the blinds with a wider range than QQ+.

BB looks exceptionally strong here. 3bet and then cold call

You can't 3bet and coldcall afterwards and i think hands like AQ, AK and TT-QQ are in his range.

Why are you calling the 3 bet? 4 bet the first time around.

I prefer calling with AK in poss to a 3 bet, the shorty wasnt a problem either way as most of the time he's pushing/folding to the 3 bet. plan was to come over the top if he pushed and other guy called. play as per usual if he folded/called. calling flop push from shorty getting 4:1 if other full folded regardless as i dont imagine his range to be that far ahead of ak.

AK is a pretty weak sauce hand if you only get to see 3 cards. 4 bet and ensure you get to see 5 cards.
