BTN: 38.6 BB
SB: 297.6 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
MP: 63.4 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 50.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 5)
Hero (CO): 118.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

UTG raises to 3 BB, MP raises to 9 BB, Hero thinks...

Zoom Hand. Villain unknown.

Best Line to take preflop? I assume MP is pretty much almost on QQ+,AK here and we don't have foldequity.

Thus, 4betting sucks.

Flatting sucks as well since AK loses its Value multiway and we, for example, can invest a lot of money on the flop but have to fold vs a shove from UTG, assuming he comes along as well.

Folding seems too weak.

Normally i'd agree with MP having a strong range here, but his stacksize makes me doubt this somewhat.
Also his stacksizes makes flatting a bit worse, there's less maneuverability because of it.

I'd 4bet/gii vs both of them. You have alot of FE by doing this, UTG can't play back wide, but if he does we're priced in. And vs MP we're 100% priced in if he plays back.

4bet is still profitable. 4bet call. Vs full stack is better 4bet-fold.
