i prolly wouldn't fold vs unk.

being result oriented now: even if u called his 4bet instead of shoving you would prolly get it in in that flop. bad luck u have an unk getting AA when u have AK. just gather ur remaining 15 big blinds (which is still a nice stack) and grind ur stack back up :)

It’s suspicious that the MP1 isn’t 4bet shoving and makes a 4 bet with his 39bb stack. It could be a sign of a big pocket pair, but even than I can’t fold AK here and played it the same way without reads on him.

Also it’s better to remove the outcome of the hand or put them in a spoiler. It could influence the feedback that you get.

Cheers,

I woldn't 3bet with 40 BBs, I just call and play in position. With 25 or less BBs I would go broke.

You use spoiler icon which is the 3rd from the right above the field where you write a text. It puts two tags into your text and you put the text between them. Spoiler icon looks like this: ( = )
