    Default I suck with AK

    Weak?
    Standard?
    4bet higher amount?
    Fold instead of 4-bet?

    Whats your play here against a standard tagg/unknown??

    i 4-bet a little bit more but play the same otherwise.

    uhhh fourbetting is retarded here. I may just fold IMO but i'd say probably
    Fold>Call>Raise

    It's rare u want to fourbet intending to fold to a shove.

    Why not call the 24 and see a flop. You give away little about your hand and at the end of the day AK isn't worth much unless you hit something.

    Does his reraise mean he definitely has AA/KK. If so then it's an easy fold but if he's more likely to trap call with those hands then presumbably you have to call (though I wouldn't fancy it much)

    Still I don't play at 200NL so maybe I have a lot to learn about 4-betting preflop.
    "[This theory] is only useful for helping to calculate your luck odds. If you have a good read that you have a numerical advantage against your opponent, that your hand is "luckier"..."

    if ur doing it for info, then i think it's better to just 4bet to 50.
    otherwise, id either comitt with a raise to ~70 or flat out push, or just cold call.

    actually folding is probably the best like ISF said, since u dont have reads and the action is utg, (tight) utg+1 with u oop.
    but in a game with lots of reraises, 4betting or calling is a good play.

    Don't 4-bet and see a flop or 4-bet bigger so you are priced in to call.
