Hey iLike. I am a scrub who is trying to improve so weight the following with this in mind.
Yes there are situations where i will fold AK preflop, but not many, and i will only fold if i have adequate information on the villain.
<1> If i have opened AK for 4bb OP and face a 3ball shove from a TAG (~15/12ish) i will fold.
<2> If i am IP i will 3ball with AK, raising 3x the villains raise. If the TAG villain then shoves im folding.
In these positions im putting them on QQ+. Assuming we are both 100bb deep we only have 43% equity against QQ, worse against KK or AA and therefore cant call.
Note: If they 3bet alot, we've seen them shove AJ+ or are LAG im calling AI instantly.
Multiway our equity gets even worse.
