    there is only one way a king will maybe find a fold here - and that's if you shove. Better to let him 6b his trips himself, or call then he can't fold on the river anyway

    @op, the better you are at poker, the more frequently you will suffer obscene bad beats and the less frequently you will inflict them on others (think about why this is). Then go and Google slansky bucks. And think, 'wow, glad i know about bankroll management, imagine if i'd lost my whole roll in that hand'. etc.

    also, it happens

    I see your point. It's just I don't think AK ever folds this spot at 2nl due to it's equity against weaker kings. These weaker trip kings might fold though, and I realise we don't want this, even if he doesn't have them very often. If I'm honest, this point should be irrelevant, because hero should 3bet more at turn, meaning villain's 4bet is larger, and more committing, making a 5bet shove automatic. But noted, as played a shove is bad if we have a weaker king than AK in his range.
