    Default Fairly common spot --->AK gets 3 bet early ($16 9-max tur

    bo) lol



    No Hands on villain except that he just flopped top/bottom pair out of the BB to get the chips he has...

    1) How much fold equity do we if we shove after he 3 bets from the button?

    2) What's our best option and why?

    honestly I think calling sucks, but I think it sucks less than shoving or folding...

    1. I think we have very little fold equity against Villain if we shove.

    2. I think flat calling preflop and check/raising if we hit an A or K on the flop (and check/folding if we miss) is the best option. Since we have little or no fold equity against Villain, and it's hard to see him doing this with something we dominate, we are getting the worst of it by shoving preflop even considering the dead chips in the pot:

    equity win tie
    Hand 0: 40.392% 27.16% 13.23% { AKo }
    Hand 1: 59.608% 46.38% 13.23% { TT+, AKs, AKo }

    I'd only fold if I had a read that opp would only do this with AA and KK (which is pretty much never).
