Hi guys.
I decided to go for 4bet as BTN 3bet preflop is so high.
What I didn't expext is to get a shove from CO. He appears nitty but the sample size is very small.
Do you think my play makes sense?

The line of the CO looks suspicious, but I would 4bet for value as well. Normal I expect we will only clash against the BTN and then I would play for stacks for sure. Now I would consider folding, because it looks like a trap of the CO and then we are flipping in best case.

Cheers,

Ugly situation. I think you do have to 4bet. To go to the flop with AK multiway is not smtg you want.
The 5bet of CO is indeed wierd but looks very strong like QQ+ or AK to me (unless you have "fishy" stats which I presume you don't have :) ).
I think I would make a crying fold. Even if you are up against a low pair, BTN may have had an ace and that makes your situation even less, less than a coinflip in most caes imo so I would take the loss.

BTN squeeze, not 3bet, if that stats are similar values you can 4bet for value and you can't fold when CO shove. Many times you will be in coin flip.

Thanks for your feedback guys!
Yes CO shove was too suspicious but I didn't think too much at that point.
Actually he had KK which is weird.
Anyway now it is more clear to me how to think in future similar situations.
