Default AKs 40/80 preflop

9 handed online table. I have AKs on the button.

The action is capped before it gets to me. I fold.

Comments?

Without having some very specific information about the three and/or four bettor, this is an easy call.

I am curious to your thought process, isn't this a must call in most poker minds?

My thought process was along the lines of -- the capper is supposed to have a pair QQ or higher, AKs, or possibly AKo. If he has any of the above other than QQ, it is very bad for my hand.

That said, maybe the capper plays more hands than that. If so, my fold could have been a mistake.

Frankly, the sarcastic replies are not helpful. If you have clear reasoning for an action, I'd love to hear it. If not, don't be a [censored].

I think you can make a good case for this if it is AKo, but being suited makes this an easy call for me. Not to mention you're in the BB so you're getting in for a discount. If you hit your flush you are going to win one hell of a pot.
