AK Spot Pre 5NL Annon

Do you think BTN ever has worse than AK here when he raises facing my cbet with a player to act in between us? Honestly, I think SB is strong here. Do you think button ever calls KQ or KJ if I shove over or is this a pretty clear fold?

Button for sure can be spew raising here. Player pool at lower stakes has higher than normal tendency of raising small bet sizings which they interpret as weakness (regardless of SB presence in hand). If you have stats/history w/ player (even if anon - intra session high VPIP and PFR, C-bet stats) can help you navigate these situations exploitatively.

Now when SB jams we are way too high in range to be folding. We lose to 6 combos of 33 and 77 (I'm assuming SB doesn't flat K7s, K3s, 37s). W/ small sizing I'm assuming you are going w/ a full range c-bet strategy here so while we can fold a lot to SB raise, we rarely show up w/ better hands (AA, 77, and 33 if you have that in your UTG preflop range). So if you have 33 here then you can probably fold some combos of AK here. W/ KK you have to ask yourself whether you are c-betting this board since we block a large portion of continuing range for villains.

4-bet jamming seems reckless. Our hand doesn't need much protection and should only get called by better. Calling seems best here.

When I see a SB flat call on micros it's a small pocket pair too often. And I usually exploit this information by 2 barelling a lot of dry boards that hit my range and by the amount of folds I get on the turn it seems like I am probably right. A reg won't flat call KTs from the SB but will try to hit a set especially if another recreational has flatted before him. I would be making an exploitave fold here against a reg and I would be calling some time but still be more inclined to fold against a recreational. Just from an experience point of view it's a set too often. Do you think my opionion is maybe biased due to some previous experiences? My main concern would only be the SB here

Yeah, I think the SB is pretty nutted here. I am just wondering if there is any value in going after the button. He did raise my c bet so what can he have? It is probably an easier much that I originally thought once I think about it more. What is weird is that he is only ~38bb deep. So if I re-jam, I need button to be calling here with worse than AK and I don't think he is doing that often.

You got no buisness in shoving, as jvt-master said, you dont really need protection. Reshoving will only isolate BTN and make him call less hands.

Overall, I think you guys are giving them way too much credit. 37bb SB player at NL5, shoving in a spot where he also should never have any sort of raising range. Maybe i would fold knowing that its really huge nit, but otherwise, would just expect enough of random Kx and spews.

Situation with BTN is more tricky, its really not good spot where we call shove and then BTN is reshoving. Im not sure what to do in that case, but propably would still go for it, as it only needs splitting with AK and so few bad plays from him to makeup for his 6c of sets.
