of course there are situations where it's necessary and unavoidable, but in most cases i flat AK to a 3bet at 100 and lower, 200nl definitely playing for stacks in almost every case
at 100nl and 200nl vs a reg shoving AK is good because it will make him pay off our AA, KK at a higher frequency, and i agree again its neutral EV but it increases how much our entire 4bet range gets paid( i say regs, because regs will remember) .... Vs donks flatting is good i agree too(they wont remember your neutral EV shove) cuz their range is wide and they stack off light if we hit a A and dominated them. At below 100nl flatting is a good option and folding is good vs nitts at 50nl and 100nl. I LOVE THIS POSTER THIS POST GIVEs ME INCITE AND ITS VERY GOOD... K... I'M NOT A COMPLETE HATER.
personally, i find the difference between 100nl and 200nl to be extremely large. obv i agree against thinking non nitty preflop players that what you say is 100% right about balancing your range to get paid off w/ AA/KK, but the discrepancy between 100 and 200 is too large imo for it to be a good play..hence my reason for flatting AK at 100 .. i also flat almsot all of these hands in most situations because of this reason. at 200nl however, im 4bet and 5bet bluffing w/ air as well as jamming JJ+ /AQ+ for value quite often.
