Scenario:

Palm Beach Big Game £1,000
63 runners, around 42 left, 9 places get paid.
Blinds 200/400 going up to 300/600/25 the next hand...30min clock.
Avg stack 17k, I am on 26k.

Opponent - okay/average mid aged poker player, played a few hands but never went to a showdown, plays poker as a hobby but seems to understand the dynamics of the game quite well. Is capable of making a move/or a hero call if he thinks he is being bullied.

He raised UTG twice in a row x2.5 and then the very next hand he made it 1,650 to go.

I looked down to find AK offsuit on the button and decided to 3bet to 4,900. He pretty quickly matched my raise n shoved all in for 12,600 on the top...

Any thoughts?? Easy fold/call?

What range of hands would you put him on?

I personally thought - AK, QQ - possibly KK, JJ.

I agree, however once he 4bet all in, I think this narrows down his range a lot...
I don't think he would be shoving over the top with less than AQ+ n JJ+

Don't 3bet without a plan, when we 3bet we are playing for stacks.

AK for 30 bigs when you've got plenty left if it goes wrong doesn't require any thought.

Pretty much never folding AK with anything less than a 50BB stack unless i know the player very well and he is only capable with AA/KK.  Doesn't sound like this is the case here.

The total is for 43bb (400/200)...left with 15bb(300/600) if I lost the pot...

That's quite interesting. Who else agrees with Redarmi on this? 50bb standard?
