Call, see a flop for 120 more.

I'd 4bet it here or call and c/f if I miss.4betting seems better since you can probably take it heads up and get more chips in pre-flop since AK is a bitch to play OOP

4 betting & folding is horrible spew, if you are going to 4bet you have to call a shove as it is.

Just call the 140 or fold if he's tight/good.

i think simon meant 4-betting OR calling and then check-folding the flop, not 4-betting and folding preflop.

i prefer just calling in a sit and go for the well-known reason that a double cEV isn't worth double $EV.

call or fold, either one is fine.
