I would never fold in that spot, and pretty much always shove allin to isolate. UTG has 3BB and blinds are about to cripple him. He's going to shove any ace here and a huge slew of hands weaker than yours. Folding AK is crazy to me here and way too conservative, you play to win, not to sit on your stack hoping everybody else eliminates eachother while you fold your way into the money. A call is terrible here and I don't understand it. What is going to happen now? With blinds this high and that much money in the pot, everyone who wants to play this hand will shove allin, which puts you in a tough decision. If you're going to call an allin anyway, shove and try to get them out of the pot.

He ended up having AA and would have obviously called your allin regardless, but that doesn't matter. A fold here is terrible, but I don't like a call either. Shove it in, most of the time you'll get folds all around the board, and if you do get called there's only 2 hands that are a clear favorite to yours.

just 3bet shove

as played after our call, never fold vs action behind

edit: don't call because we don't want a string of callers and seeing a multi-way flop with this short effective stack
