Preflop: Hero is BU with A♠, K♥
3 folds, MP2 raises to $0,05, MP3 calls $0,05, CO folds, Hero raises to $0,23, 2 folds, MP2 raises to $1,95 (All-In), MP3 calls $0,39 (All-In), Hero folds, MP2 gets uncalled bet back (All-In).

Flop: ($1,14) J♥, 9♥, 8♦
Turn: ($1,14) 2♥
River: ($1,14) 9♣ (2 players)

Final Pot: $1,14

Results follow (highlight to see):
MP2 shows two-pair, queens and nines (Qh Qc)
MP3 shows (Kc Jd)

MP2 wins with two-pair, queens and nines (Qh Qc)

I hate AK for these reasons. And the fact that i never seem to win an all in with them. In any case, should i call in this spot?

Hello Smashie,

Yes, actually AKo is pretty hard to play and they are usually for many players negative, somehow you have to check them and try to find your leaks with playing them. But to the game, I don't mind going broke there after I decided to 3bet because you are getting against this range: (we need near 40% equity to make the Call profitable)

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 40,678% 40,175% 1,005% 58,820% AKo
Player 2: 59,322% 58,820% 1,005% 40,175% TT+, AQs

Pretty decent equity, it's near break-even, so both ways are actually fine. Also considering his stats, I don't mind your fold either. Well played.

Best regards.
