AK preflop for 140bbs
Villain is 19/14/2.5 over 200 hands. Stats seem kind of nitty but I have seen him 3-bet hands like ATs in position. Also, in another session, he 4-bet my squeeze when I was BB once to the same ridiculous amount when he had AQ in UTG+1 with an awful 35bb fish in between us (so it should have been obvious I wasn't doing this lightly if he could read hands). I have also won a few pots that he 3-bet vs my BTN opens at another table and has been bitching in the chat box about my "luck", none of those hands went to showdown. The UTG in this hand is a really loose/passive fish.
With all of this in mind is this a super standard push?

you dont have 140 bbs. You have closer to 80. So it becomes pretty standard.

Dumb Pokerroom HHs! It's 100NL despite what it says. Edited it now.

spots like this are difficult because you can tweak villain's range slightly in either direction and come up with a different result.
that said, i'm leaning slightly towards just folding to the 4-bet. i'm thinking that villain prob doesn't think you are 3-betting light out of the SB with a super fishy still to act, and 140bb deep is generally a bit out of my comfort range for felting AK pre. every situation is different though, of course.

and by 'out of my comfort range' i mean 'i think its -ev'. i'd stick 1400bb in pre with ak if i felt i had an edge, but then it would be my game selection that needed to be praised and not the fact that i could figure out that i could shove 1400bb in pre without AA. or something like that.
