$5.50 Deep Stacks: Weak line, ambitious bluff?

You're probably right about post flop, trying to push villain off AA is probably not wise without reads. But I'd also say that getting it in vs a minraise with AKo 50bb deep doesn't seem smart based on a vague read that villain might be dick waving. We're obviously not going to 4bet shove over the minraise, so are we calling a 5bet shove? I'd really want to have reads that villain can be spewing before I call a 5b shove with AKo, because when he 5bets, I have his range as QQ+ at worst, and I feel like that's hopeful given the size of his 3bet and the sample size.

I could probably dig a 4b/fold line. But 4b/call? Nah. I feel like we have a better chance of outplaying him post flop that getting him in with a marginal hand pre flop.

by the time you 4-bet a fold would likely just be wrong given your pot odds w/50 BB effective stacks.

so if you are looking to save chips and find a good fold then you should be calling pre and just folding that flop.
