Default Typical AK problem?

Party 15 30 nine handed.
UTG+2 is a loose open raiser, and he does so. Decent player to my right three bets, and I cap with AdKd. SB calls, other two call and it's 4 to a flop for 4 bets each.

Flop is Ks Qc 9d.

Checked to me and I bet, SB raises, UTG+2 three-bets,1 fold, and I fold as well.

Standard? I don't do a lot of folding in these games, but this one seemed right. A friend of mine who is a 20 40 live player didn't like this fold, whaddya think?

james,

since it's a big pot, people might get fancy. SB and UTG+2 can be jamming with a pair+draw (KJ, QJ, 9J, T9, KT, QT..) or another AK is out there. There is possibility of KQ, K9, Q9, or a set.

i'd take some heat with TPTK, and see some turn development. making a big pot and then give up with a big hand is too depressing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think you at least need to see what the turn action brings. There are too many hands you are ahead of that could be jamming this already rather large pot.

I don't see anyone having JT because they'd probably wait until the turn to raise. They might have KQ/QQ/99, but you may also be up against AQ or another AK. You have TPTK with runner-runner straight and flush draws. I would see the turn and if there's no help and you're once again facing 2 bets, you can fold.

I think it could be a good spot for a reraise. Might get u to showdown without anymore fighting.

I think this is the best line. often see turn checked to you when blank hits.
