When AK is facing big squeeze size

Over this small sample we could say that villain looks lag-ish. It could mean he squeezes frequently also. I think 4bet is fine here. If you call you might just invite calls from players behind us and then we would find ourselves in a big pot with off-suit AK and OOP vs a couple of guys.
After villain jams I think it is close. Villain needs to jam some other hands than just QQ+,AK for you to make profit here. And when he jams against UTG 4bet I think he might be quite tight in this spot.

Fold is too weak, Call brings us in ugly situations OTF, thatswhy i also prefer the 4bet, but i would have raised a bit bigger.

Are you going to make the call after he shoves? ^^
I have to call $19.33 to win $37.33. If hes QQ+ and AK, then I am 38.824% vs 61.176%. If I add JJ in his range, it's 39.785% vs 60.215%.
By math, its probably a fold.

I think there is actually 38.83$ in the pot if you count MP and BTN calls too. You would need to win 33.24% just to break even (and if you count in rake, you would still be losing some money).
Against QQ+,AK you do have that 38% equity according to equilab but the split% is a big part of that. In order to break even you need to win that 33%, not just split. So villain has to ship it with a range like JJ+,ATs+,AKo for you to win often enough. Villain can probably squeeze here wide but when he faces a 4bet from UTG I think he shouldn't ship it that lightly.
So fold seems reasonable.

Sick spot. His squeeze is super strong. He is in worst possible position (SB) vs UTG open (Strong Already) and two calls. This is rarely worse than QQ+. I think with 3bb invested you can make a fold pre. I think I like a 4b All-In if I am going to continue here. If my intention was to 4b/call I prefer to 4b All In myself, knock out the capped callers and try to maximize my fold equity.

la55i, you are right. I recalculated my EV = $38.83*0.1814 (win) - $19.33*0.4050 (lose) + $38.83/2*0.2068 (tie) = -$0.96, if we put him on QQ+, AK. This has not included rake. On the other hand, when he shoved against UTG, especially our stacks were bigger than 100bb, his range can probably be stronger than QQ+, AK.

BTW, villain had KK after show down.

Thanks for all you guys' comments. I believed I learned something from this hand. ^^
