I dont often fold AK preflop with 5M. There's also a rather decent chance utg folds which is a beautiful result.

I'd ship it in, but it's gotta be pretty close to 0EV.

+tight table
+M around 5
+fourth best starting hand
= EZ push OTOH

+tight table
+UTG raise
+push = fold and find a better spot?

if you're up against JJ and QQ, you're about 36% to triple up

weighing the two, I'll take the first option. push.

I have no problem getting it in, even if this is 0EV. Good time to get a stack.

I folded. Not sure how bad it is (most people seem to say it's close, but call) and it was definitely not a typical fold, but I felt castrated by the situation and decided to wait for a better spot.

Against and LP raise and re-raise, I'm almost never folding, but I can't imagine UTG+1 showing up with AQ very often, or any other scenario that makes this spot overly awesome. Then again, I might be becoming a pussy.
