Hi guys,
After villain squeeze I decided to 4bet as he had a high 3bet (16%), although I didn't like the big size of his bet. Instead, I could've called but that might have invited the other player to join otf. On the other hand, folding seemed to weak given that I was well ahead of his 3bet range.
After his 5bet should I have folded since it seemed like I was facing a premium hand? How would you have played this hand?

don't 4bet AK if you don't want to commit your stack. generally speaking, you should always 4bet AK against a wide range.
either he folds too much to the 4bet -> you make money from his overfolding, or he folds too little -> you get value.

the only considerations here are positions and sample size - is he really bluff squeezing wide oop against MP with this sizing? and how many 3bet opportunities did he have?
i think he's not so wide here and might have preferred a call preflop.
