5NL Tight Preflop Fold Deep Stacked

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $2.50
SB: $9.09 (Hero)
BB: $5.00
UTG: $8.83
MP: $8.97
CO: $1.81
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is SB with K A
UTG raises to $0.15, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.13, BB raises to $0.75, UTG raises to $8.83 and is all in, Hero folds, BB folds
Final Pot UTG wins $1.65

So I think I misplayed this spot but want some opinions. We are pretty deep here and had we been 100BB eff. I would not have played it this way and instead would have 3B GII. When villain shoves 180BB eff facing a SB flat and BB squeeze, I really only put him on QQ+, AK, and heavily weight him more towards AA and KK (even though I block those combos). Hard to weight the BB, but I think he definitely has some slighter 3Bs in his range.

Felt gross folding here though tbh, and its probably the tightest PF fold I have ever made.

With 100BB or 180BB, I would have 3bet and fold to a 4bet.

As played, AKo is a definite fold. I'm only calling 180BB all in with AA. KK and/or QQ if the players involved are proven maniacs. But normally just AA.

3bet pre. In the SB you should tend to 3-bet or fold anyway, and AKo is a hand which benefits from 3betting -- it plays better heads up, so if you knock the BB out it's good for you.

If BB folds and UTG makes a normal 4-bet you can probably fold, though calling is also probably ok. Since UTG is IP to you, he should be calling with a lot of his range, and 4-betting with a small range. AKo isn't doing so hot against this range.

As played, folding is fine. You don't need to call a 180BB jam with AKo. Besides, BB is still behind you with an uncapped range, so you also have to worry about him.
