Fold AKo before the flop here?

[LondonBroil]

This is a home game with a mix of poor players with some 1/2 descent ones. $1 antes, 10/20. This is also my very first hand as I had just gotten in.

I open for $10 UTG+1, UTG+2 raises, MP1 3-bets, folded back around to me, I shrug, and fold.

I do not respect UTG+2's that much as it could mean any pair, an lower ace, Kxs, Qxs, or any suited connector down to 56s.

EP's 3-bet, however, means a good hand. We rarely see re-raises in this game before the flop let alone 3-bets. EP likes to bluff a lot on the turn and river but he's very straight-forward before the flop. He'll call with just about anything but will hardly ever raise. His 3-bet means JJ-AA, or AK.

Usually if I've been playing for awhile I'll go ahead and cap it but I just didn't feel like getting into what could have been an ugly situation right away.

Thoughts?


BTW, UTG+2 had Ah9c and MP had AKs. MP bet the whole way and was called by UTG+2 on a [Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] board.

I'm still wondering why UTG+2 called the river bet.
