Default Fold AKo Preflop?

Just a theory question for you guys:
If you have AKo on the button in a six-handed game and UTG raises, #3 reraises, and #4 caps, are you going to call? (Assume #3 and #4 are TAGs)

Just wondering because the situation came up in a game I was playing today and I folded AK. #3 had AA, and #4 had KK. In this situation it was a good fold, but that is very results orientated thinking and I was curious as to what the proper play was.

Default Re: Fold AKo Preflop?

Well, assuming the original raiser folds to the cap, and we can put the 3-bettor and capper on these range of hands:

4,130,540 games 31.426 secs 131,437 games/sec

Board:
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 28.4140 % 25.83% 02.59% { TT+, ATs+, KQs, AJo+, KQo }
Hand 2: 46.9587 % 35.82% 11.14% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 3: 24.6272 % 12.63% 12.00% { AKo }

Where Hand 1 is the 3-bettor, Hand 2 is the capper, and Hand 3 is you.

So, in terms of strictly all-in equity I guess the correct move is to fold. But really, how often are you in a 6 handed game with exactly AKo where an unknown raises, a TAG 3-bets , another TAG caps, and you're in late position?

Usually you'll just call the cap.
