Don't usually like to get it in w AKo from UTG but here there is a lot of dead money and all 4 options kinda sucked.

I felt like AKo is too good to fold with these pot odds, too hard to play profitably if I just flat call, too much dead money in the pot to just 4bet imo (would probably just shove pre w QQ+ also here), and shoving vs mp 3bet is not a great time either.

Hey Metza,

I don't think AKo suddenly becomes profitable as an UTG jam just because there is a cold-caller. Imo best options are either to flat and take the awkward postflop situation or just to fold preflop. We could think about using the hand to balance our 4bet bluff range in this spot, but generally think it's unecessary at these limits and we can just play exploitatively.
