AKo difficult spot

Other than x/r the flop, I don't see what else you could do.
I like the turn x/r

I'm curious about what others think, though...

All the best,
VS

Normally I'd put villains range on QQ+/AQ+ after his preflop line. However, since it's only 3 at the table the range might be looser than that, so we could add maybe TT/JJ/AT/AJ/KQs as well. Flop is exactly what you'd want. Unlikely he's holding 22/66, and he's probably also not going to be drawing for the flush with his range and the A♦: on the flop. So maybe a check/call here is ok, hoping to maybe extrude some more value from weaker Ax hands or pocket pairs on the turn. Turn however isn't what you'd want since now KK has you beat too.

So on turn you're still drawed against AK, but what other hands that you beat would still be betting here? AQ/AJ? A flush draw? I guess it would be too nitty to fold now, so deciding to shove it on the turn is probably ok, but I'd be somewhat expecting to be beat by AA/KK half of the time really, unless I know villain is a total fish.

I broke preflop, as played I play in call, call, fold.
On flop Axx when you have AK, it can have olso 1 combo of AA and maybe A♠:2♠:, I prefer play in calldown here

Going all-in 3 handed is not that bad imo bb vs btn.
I'm pretty sure that both flop and turn can be a check/raise vs that size. You have top two which is the top of your range on this board, so it's never wrong to raise.

Standard play, no so risky pre-flop, raise OTF or raise OTT is standard,imo.

what about 5 bet/call

5bet shove pre from these positions imo a decent chunk of equity with AK is in fold equity and you also maximize your postflop equity by guaranteeing you see all 5 cards if called.As played id look to get it all in on either the flop or turn s well.
