agreed. Its much more likely that vill has AK than AA. And if he does have ak, your screwed. Fold em up boys...

Does AK really merit a 3-bet to 1/3 of effective stacks in 6-max? Villain raised, then raised a reraise.

I know AK is statistically more likely than AA, 16 to 6, but that looks stronger than AK to me. Maybe that's why I'm terrible shorthanded....

I was thinking you could discount AK, and push this flop on a semi-bluff, maybe fold AA, the very unlikely other KK, or donk hands. Villain might put YOU on AK, QQ, JJ....

But folding's probably right; I imagine your fold equity sucks here.

If I put willain on AA I may as well lay it down preflop...
It is not worth calling for 28$ if I play it for set value against AA.
But what would you do if you were willain holding AA if hero pushed this flop???

Wow, I actually had the same situation happen to me yesterday against a decent player. I pushed the flop figuring he'd fold AA, villain called instantly with AKo.

It seems a lot of people are willing to make a huge three bet with AK.

I also had someone 3 bet my queens and I put him on AJ-AK, I pushed the rag flop, He called with AKs on a flush draw that didn't get there.

I would consider that flop to be about the worst possible on planet earth for AA. It could only be worse if it were monotone and I didn't have the matching A. I think I would fold. But I really don't know, and I'm a 6-max incompetent.
