    Default 100NL: AK Pre against TAG

    Poker Room skin
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    5 players
    Seat 3: CO ($230.60 in chips)
    Seat 4: Hero [ AH,KC ] ($115.55 in chips)
    Seat 5: SB ($75.00 in chips)
    Seat 8: BB ($115.50 in chips)
    Seat 9: UTG ($150.70 in chips)
    Converter

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with A K
    UTG folds, CO raises to $4, Hero raises to $14, 2 folds, CO raises to $33, Hero ???.

    villain was 18/15/5.
    Our image is tight, but we have been active lately. Should we push here?
    I'm mostly a FR player and with this stats on FR I would be happy to stack off. However at 6max, I'm not sure.

    anything besides folding preflop or on the flop is a winning play cutoff vs btn, tag vs tag.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I don't agree and trust myself to make a decision here, but meh...

    Folding is fine, getting it all-in is fine. Not being able to get away from this spot against some people is pretty bad.

    I dunno. I've read that the equity AK has against the rest of the field while getting it all in but I've never seen what they have to say about that much action befoer getting it in, because the range shrinks

    All of a sudden it's AK, QQ KK AA... Yeah maybe JJ and AQs.

    Nothing wrong with calling here and evaluating I think.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    fnord agreed there are ppl you can insta-muck this to but that takes a read and we don't have it yet

    all we have is reasonable taggy stats that suggest an aware opponent who doesn't like to call so I'd be happy shoving

    People are making such dumb 4-bets on Pokerroom lately I shove this and tell that fucker it better hold.

    With no reads, stacking off with AK preflop is hardly a mistake. Folding can be fine with a read. Basically what Genitruc said.
