Hero (SB): $24.32 (121.6 bb)
BB: $29.14 (145.7 bb)
UTG: $20 (100 bb)
MP: $27.89 (139.5 bb)
CO: $65.10 (325.5 bb)
BTN: $25.09 (125.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A K
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.60, Hero calls $0.50, BB raises to $2, BTN calls $1.40, Hero ??

Preflop: Decided to call AKo instead of 3betting. The reason was that we were a bit deeper, so I didn't want to turn the hand into a bluff if he 4bets and I'm not comfortable of doing it for value when a bit deeper. Maybe I'm wrong with this. Then the BB decided to squeeze, but with a bit smaller sizing than usual. Should I call or 4bet? I don't think that folding is an option.

BTN: 30/19/36/50(4)/546 (VPIP/PFR/BTN_RFI/BTN_FtRST(#ofOccassions)/H)

Can you give stats on BB too, cause it is important for your decision to call and not 3 Bet.
I prefer 3 betting.

BB plays 23/20 in 116 hands and squeezed 1 time out of 6 opportunities.

I prefer 3 betting. I do not want BB in the hand.

Would you fold vs 4bet, considering the stack sizes?

I play NL25 zoom and don't tend to 3bet AK SB vs BTN, you're generally behind when he 4 bets and he folds a lot of weaker aces there. As played, I'd call. AK plays well post flop and as you mentioned its a squeeze so he could be wider.

Of course not. AK is a hand we want to play vs him.

Folding is never an option here for me. 3bet pre, now call is fine, 4bet would disguise your hand, but will you call down 3 barrels with TPTK is the big question here.

You're not that deep. Just 3bet pre and don't be afraid to get it in BTN v SB.

I would ship for value, already 23bb in the pot, we can get called by worse or even if we get called we have nice equity also even if they fold it's good profit for us cuz AKo playability from sb is very low
