    Default AK btn vs blinds 4 bet pot

    I've switched from FR to 6 max recently and AK is a hand I'm having a little trouble with. 3bets and 4 bets don't get quite the respect they did in FR which puts me in a few more spots post flop...

    Anyway, sb is very loose and aggressive, he's 3 bet me several times 60/30/11.8 3bet over 50 hands, agg factor of 47. BB is 26/17/6.7 and seems fairly straight forward, I'd expect him to want to play a lot of hands vs sb if he's paying attention. I had not 4 bet sb yet and I'm playing about 26/21 or so on this table.

    So is my 4bet a little small? Maybe with the caller it should be bigger. Now with them both calling a 4 bet I'm more worried about one of them having a monster, so just c/fold? Or if you bet and try to take the pot, how much?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayer



    UTG ($2.25)
    MP ($53.15)
    CO ($49.70)
    Hero (Button) ($50)
    SB ($118.75)
    BB ($58.80)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K
    3 folds, Hero bets $1.50, SB raises to $4, BB calls $3.50, Hero raises to $13, SB calls $9, BB calls $9

    Flop: ($39) 7, J, 4 (3 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero ($37) ?

    I'd be 4xing it at 50nl. As played c/f unless you hit an ace or king on turn or river.

    So is a 4bet here better than just calling the 3bet? And yeah 4x seems better.
