PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

CO: 100 BB
BTN: 255.5 BB
SB: 134 BB
Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 109.5 BB
MP: 105 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♥ A♦

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, CO calls 3 BB, fold, SB raises to 12 BB, Hero?

Ye it's ok but your certainly not loving life if utg shoves vs a cold 4bet but your committed at that point.And sb should be shoving QQ+ AK and have an aggressive enough squeezing range so you have fold equity.It's not a great spot but the hand really plays itself as calling oop and enticing a mw pot with AK and losing fold equity isn't to appealing.

gamble time, he can squeeze with AQ but when you jam they might all fold

you can win 19bb w/o showdown if you get called then hopefully variance is on our side, but for me folding is not an option in this spot.

folding AK for me utg raise mp 3-bet btn 4bet jam then I might consider folding AK in the bb

Imho 4bet fold with blocker or a safe direct fold at nl2.

Kk+ AKs 4bet call, and Ako 4bet fold.

However is oppo dependent, without info I prefer a safe fold.

If sb is a good reg and he has only a 3bet range here you can 4bet call, but your cold 4bet is very strong vs open of utg and squeeze of SB.

I repeat at nl 2 imho a fold is better than 4bet, and very better than call
