Hero (CO): 161 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♠ K♦

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, fold, fold, BB raises to 112.6 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 110.2 BB

Flop: (225.6 BB, 2 players) 6♦ 4♠ 5♦

Turn: (225.6 BB, 2 players) 4♦

River: (225.6 BB, 2 players) T♠

Do you expect to see more often hands like AJ, AQ,AK, 99-JJ or premium range?
This is a very variance spot but I just can't fold AKo, especially in these positions.
Villain is a one table Gold Star from Romania.

If villain is a total fish, we can see those hands you mentioned + JTs,QJ etc...
But since villain is unknown and we are deep, AKo is a fold for me.

112bb is not that deep.
I expect to see QQ+, AK more often than all those hands you mention.

super easy snap call, someone who's doing this is close to always a fish and therefore he/she is able to have practically any two cards in their range. AK is the nuts in this spot in a shorthanded micro game. AQ as well. Also 99+. Then I suppose it's getting more close to folding!

@DREAMC4T is perfectly right about this particular spot, because villain showed

Spoiler

Have you not experienced that 3-bet shoves are usually weaker than strong?
I mean, basing on my experience, I would expect to see more often AJ, than AA.

It depends a bit on villain. I would say it is still QQ+ very often. We are also flipping against other pocket pairs.
You might be right but against unknown villain I still prefer to lose only that 2.5BB than take a 112.6BB gamble.

Just take a note on that one.

This should be an easy call for 110 BB pre.

As you saw - you will be either dominating him hard or will be flipping against a random pair.
