10NL: AKo 191.5 bb's deep vs MP 4x open + BTN ~2.9x 3bet

Hand History driven straight to this forum by DriveHUD - http://drivehud.com

NL Holdem $0.1(BB)
CO ($19.81)
BTN ($10)
SB ($10.46)
HERO ($19.15)
UTG ($10)
HJ ($16.81)

Dealt to Hero Kd Ah

UTG Folds, HJ Raises To $0.41 (Rem. Stack: 16.40), CO Folds, BTN Raises To $1.17 (Rem. Stack: 8.83), SB Folds, HERO ???

I just stacked MP for ~100bb's the hand before this one with KK vs TT all in pre. He called a 4bet shove with TT. Over 50 hands he's 66/46/30 and clearly on tilt. BTN is 27/18/22 over only 22 hands and seems like a reg here. I've only started playing on this network again earlier in the week and see new faces so I have limited information on these guys. The thing here is that there are a lot of aggro whales in this game and MP is clearly looking to play for stacks. With BTN's 3b sizing after what happened the hand before this one, I think he's looking to play for stacks, too. So, It put me in an awkward position sitting there with ~200bb's and 2 villains, OOP.

I suppose you can throw in a small 4bet here with AKo. Calling is not a good option with AKo, rake and all that.

The thing is, what am I going to 4bet to? 4.5x is $5.27 and I'm in a terribly awkward spot if either one of them shoves behind me, no? Even if I 3x it, then they're both priced in nicely and I'm still in the same difficult spot whether one shoves or both call.

I folded it out as my timebank was expiring. Seeing the rest of the hand play out was a little painful. The read I had on BTN was that he 3bets junk and we already detailed MP. I was going to just push and let them both call. Not sure if that is the theoretically correct play here but even if I did just call or give a small 4b pre that led to a flop, I couldn't have continued OOP on that flop.

Against players like that I think it's fine to go to a size it's obvious for a regular that you are committed to call if off with a hand like TT or KQs, but I wouldn't go much larger than 75% pot.

Thanks again for the help, guys. I've been studying more than playing lately and really trying to work out range v range equity, nut advantages, spr, etc. I'm also going over the hands I have played recently and using software to dissect/analyze them. Reading the forums and creating my own threads is, of course, exponentially beneficial for me, too.
