A while since I've put a hand on here so I thought I'd put this up. This is one I end up losing but I've heard a couple of different options on what I can do in this spot.

£250 f/o. 10k/45min. Blinds are 100/200. UTG (good player, doesn't seem to have been too out of line so far, playing ~20k) opens to 550. UTG+1 (good player, have missed the pots he's actually been involved in tho, playing ~7k) flats. Folds to us on the button (playing 6.5k) and we look down at AKo.

Part 1 of analysis. Do we... a) shove, b) 3bet, c) call. And why?

I just ship here, depends on your image whether shipping or 3bet/call is better but either will do.

Shove seems to be the consensus then. It was either that or 3bet. I decided to 3bet/get it in so made it 2025.

Then something I wasn't expecting happened. The BB (playing ~20k) made it 6000. The other two guys folded and it was back to me. I have to call off here having put 2k of my 6.5k in already?

Yes 'cos theres 8875 in the pot so we're getting almost exactly 2 to 1 so we have the required 33% equity against even a range as tight as QQ+,AKs

I think your best line would be to change your font colour.

It makes me squint when you post and if someone quotes you it's barely readable.
