    obv can only 4bet to GII, 4bet going to be close to 30>% of your stack.  I dont really like a flat tho

    Been going over my HH and AK is just massively my biggest losing hand online/live in cash, so being toying with my lines also.

    Really depends on your reads, has first raiser been very active and can second raiser isolate on the btn with weaker range or are both playing pretty ABC, particulary 3better?

    Any raise you make has to be for value as you can't then fold so do you also think they can shove on you light or against cold 4bet they only get it in with strong hands?

    Flatting isn't an option IMO but folding wouldn't be awful either given the right reads.

    Can't say I'd usually give any real credit to a button 3bet preflop (level and player dependant), as they could have any old rubbish and do that. I also hate AK, as it can be a huge money sink for me, but really the right option is to 4bet. Certainly its either that or fold as call is rubbish OOP.

    Guessing by comments you lost the hand, but don't thik that changes how to play it, just sucks if you playing it against someone ona a heater, as they rarely seem to miss the board when on one.

    To a button 3 bet, I 4 bet/get it in. Way too tight to fold here against a button 3-bet imo.

    I am guessing I folded ;)

    Oh Rancid you have been sat out on my table for the last 2 hours and you are still sat there!!!

    Must be some technical error!!

    Why is everyone 4b so big?

    Why is flatting not an option? Not saying its best but it seems better than folding to me
