lol, I fold w/o a read he squeezes lightly. Calling would be the worst of the 3 decisions IMO.

this seems like a trivially easy shove to me

you haven't played $50nl in forever then, if he's sane his 3betting range is very tight. I'd almost remove JJ from it.

No you wouldn't 4bet and you know it, I've seen your AK hands.

i honestly cant even imagine playing in a game where shoving AK in this spot was a leak. for that to be true games must be just sooooooo passive as to be ridiculous

Player's raising over 3 players and an UTG open, that's one helluva squeeze play. I'm not faulting pushing, I just think fold would come into my mind before push would in this spot.

Meh, we're getting a nice price on a push even if his range is QQ+,AK0/s which we're just slightly more than a 3:2 dog against. Alright, I'll go with marginally +EV if we have any FE.
