NL100: Looks like AK, can i call

Shortstack is a really bad player, and bigstack is a tight, 12/10 marginal losing player.

This play really looks like AK to me, can i call here

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($87.90)
Hero (UTG) ($129.60)
UTG+1 ($93)
MP1 ($100)
MP2 ($29.10)
CO ($131.10)
Button ($50.35)
SB ($230.80)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Qhttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/spade.gif, Qhttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...es/diamond.gif
Hero raises to $3.50, 2 folds, MP2 calls $3.50, CO raises to $15.50, 3 folds, Hero calls $12, MP2 raises to $29.10 (All-In), CO raises to $131.10 (All-In), 1 fold

And why do you think it is AK instead of AA or KK?

3betting an utg raise leans more towards AA/KK then AK. am i wrong in thinking this?

The way he shoves like he wants the shortstack for himself and dont want to see a flop makes me think he has AK here alot. I also think that this guy would raise or call with AA and raise with KK.

I folded tho, and he had AK as i though, and i feel like he has AK here like 90% of the time.

But i guess this is so high variance and that i can never call with QQ in this spot. just want to hear your opinions about it

i see no reason not to play the same with KK+

This is AK a lot of the time sure,
I still hate it though because you are a coin flip at best.
