3 folds, MP1 raises to t60, 2 folds, BTN calls t60, SB calls t45, Hero raises to t270, MP1 raises to t1370 all in, 2 folds, Hero?

MP1 - unknown

I dont wanna m-way pot OOP so 3bet is suitable move but are we going broke 45bb deep in 2nd lvl? So basically I am 3bet/folding right?

Yeap 3bet/fold.I dont think he will shove AQ here.Well maybe AQ but again why to risk your edge in a spot that you are propably behind?

wtf. if you 3bet vs an unknown you are giong broke. otherwise flat. 3b/folding AK is usually not the best play, you have so much value with that hand. even if he only 4bets AK+ you still have odds with the overlay + you have blockers to KK+ etc... just get it in imo (especially on low stakes where people are really bad)

Are there any situations where you think it's acceptable to 3bet/fold AK?

UTG is a NIT reg 7/7 from UTG 9 handed, he raises 3x UTG.
folds to Hero in SB with AKo

Hero?...

this is a spot where i would prefer a 3b/f as a bluff more than a flat or a 3b/4b because playing AK oop against a tight range is going to be tough and you won't get much value oop. you may win a little bit more by turning it into a bluff pre-flop with 2 blockers.

in general, no.
