AK on SB facing BU izoraise

I do not know what is best. But I do not like the call for three reasons: if we call, CO gets good odds to overcall, then we are OOP against two players with a very strong but not very playable hand. I do not like to push for 42 BB effective either. So the only reasonable action in my option is to 3bet. I would make it big and go broke PF and/or on the flop.

So something like: 3bet PF 500, push F every flop?

Yeah. Something like this but nearly not every flop. It is perfectly possible that this is not the best play but for me it looks like a very good compromise between simplicity (especially in terms of actions after that one) and EV. On a flop like Q♥:T♥:9♥: I would think about c/f though as villains possible calling range (TT+, AJs+, AQo+) is probably way ahead (do not have the tools atm) but we still have a decent stack.

Edit: Also on a flop like A♦:K♠:7♦: I would think about a check or very small bet as we are now way ahead.

A 3bet to like 400 would be fine. As played I would check/fold post-flop against a reasonable bet, but on the min bet I can't fold ether.

I would go for 3x 3bet with this stack depth. If stacks were deeper then going for 400-500 would make more sense.

Well actually I think shove is fine being 1200 effective, CO limp as dead chips and BU big iso raise size. If CO used bit smaller iso raise I would 3bet normally for sure but with this it start to be on gray area. Like with 1000 effective stack shove is best for sure.

Anyway this spot should be super clear 3bet as BU range should be very wide for iso raising CO limp.
