BTN: 135.8 BB (VPIP: 8.51, PFR: 4.26, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 48)
SB: 131.8 BB (VPIP: 10.66, PFR: 7.61, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 198)
BB: 81 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 4)
UTG: 120.8 BB (VPIP: 18.42, PFR: 11.84, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 77)
UTG+1: 100 BB (VPIP: 13.38, PFR: 9.15, 3Bet Preflop: 1.64, Hands: 144)
MP: 102.6 BB (VPIP: 23.36, PFR: 15.89, 3Bet Preflop: 7.32, Hands: 108)
Hero (MP+1): 223.8 BB
MP+2: 369.8 BB (VPIP: 18.31, PFR: 9.15, 3Bet Preflop: 4.62, Hands: 143)
CO: 93.8 BB (VPIP: 4.48, PFR: 4.48, 3Bet Preflop: 4.76, Hands: 69)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, MP+2 raises to 6 BB, CO calls 6 BB, BTN calls 6 BB, fold, BB calls 5 BB, Hero calls 3 BB

Flop: (30.4 BB, 5 players) 8♥ 4♥ 6♣
BB checks, Hero checks, MP+2 checks, CO checks, BTN bets 20 BB, BB calls 20 BB, fold, fold, fold

Turn: (70.4 BB, 2 players) 6♠
BB checks, BTN bets 40 BB, BB calls 40 BB

River: (150.4 BB, 2 players) 3♣
BB bets 15 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 15 BB

BB shows 8♠ 8♣ (Full House, Eights full of Sixes)
(Pre 60%, Flop 99%, Turn 100%)
BTN shows A♣ Q♦ (One Pair, Sixes)
(Pre 40%, Flop 1%, Turn 0%)
BB wins 173 BB

Here I elected to call because I'm getting about 9:1 pot odds, and a 4bet would probably commit me to the pot. On the other hand, I feel like a 4bet could have taken it down preflop, since the only person I really have to worry about is the original 3bettor. Thoughts?

I think you played it fine. No need to rush things with AKo pre-flop when it’s unlikely you will win right away if you are 4betting big and if the MP2 is shoving you are most likely against a tight range you are most of the time flipping.

Cheers,

i'd 4bet this 100%, most winning /w AK comes from nonshowdown if played right. There's so much dead money in the pot already. Plus you give 4 people the chance to outdraw you bigtime(like BB would've done). No one showed any real strength yet.

Besides if you flop an ace and they flop nothing, you win a marginal pot, not much bigger than the preflop pot. OR when you hit AND they hit, you lose a massive pot.
