Preflop: Hero is SB with A♥, K♣
UTG1 folds, UTG2 raises to $0,08, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0,08, MP3 folds, CO calls $0,08, BU folds, Hero raises to $0,48, BB folds, UTG2 calls $0,40, MP2 calls $0,40, CO calls $0,40.

Flop: ($1,94) A♣, 7♥, 6♣ (4 players)
Hero raises $1,52 (All-In), UTG2 folds, MP2 calls $1,52 (All-In), CO calls $1,52 (All-In).

Turn: ($6,50) K♦
River: ($6,50) 9♥ (3 players)

Final Pot: $6,50

Results follow (highlight to see):
MP2 shows (Qc Tc)
CO shows (5h 5d)
Hero shows two-pair, aces and kings (Ah Kc)

Hero wins with two-pair, aces and kings (Ah Kc)

What to do preflop? I want to make sure I understand the reasoning.
Calling and playing out of position against 3 opponents seems a terrible idea.
Folding is too tight? I am probably ahead, even against the openraise form utg2.
Can I still fold after a 3bet? If the utg2 4bets I have to put him on a very tight range —KK+?— so I have to lay it down.

On the flop it's an easy all-in with tptk considering the size of the pot.

Thanks in advance,
-Ray

Hello DesertStingray,

Well, I doubt that I would change much in your play. Most likely I would have done the same. No point to Call it preflop, rather squeeze and gain at least fold equity. AKo ain't a very good hand in multiway pot.

Best Regards.
