BTN is unknown, Sb is 18/8 over 117 hands.
PF: I try not to overplay AK especially OOP since it's pretty easy for me to spew with it. However, I think I can assume BTN's open-raising range is wide, and Sb is usually weak as well w his flat. Thus squeezing would be a very profitable play in the long run.
My question is, how do I decide if calling or 3-betting in this hand is the best line to take? In my case, I would just flat if open-raiser was UTG. Are there any other factors to take into account?
