I don't think you will lose much by folding to a massive 3-bet by a standard opponent with AK every time.

That said, you played it. The pot is big and slow-playing is wrong. Given the pot size and your stack, I'd just push here.

it's not that huge, but yea a large part of the time i fold preflop

edit: who was this against?

Re: AKs, give me a line
 

do alot of you really fold here pf? I'm not saying I wouldn't, but in a shorthanded game thats a squeeze play a huge % of the time.

when it's on BB, there's 270$ dead out there. hmmm.

This is 10-handed, and he raised from early position. You gotta respect that.

if BB is any good, this cant be a squeeze play. he has to have noticed how loose these guys are. his rr got EVERYONE to call - im sure theres been a ton of cold-calling before.

I do respect it, creed. and I would too fold this alot of the time. I'm merely suggesting another perspective.

Also, fwiw, I think flatcalling his big raise is the worst option.

I think there is serious merit to folding, but calling is definitly better than shoving IMO. The only benefit to shoving is when he folds QQ, but other than that its just bad.
