NL50 - AK vs a Squeeze, Tight Fold?

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (5 Players) BB: $93.97
UTG: $49.18
CO: $17.38
BN: $50.21
SB: $51.00 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is SB with K A
UTG raises to $1.75, CO calls $1.75, BN raises to $7.75, 2 folds, UTG folds, CO folds
Final Pot BN wins $6.00

Villain 5 and Villain 6 are clearly fishes. BTN is a tight player. I wouldn't classify him as a reg, but he's not a rec either. Given the fact Villain 6 is short, so BTN should squeeze a linear and strong range. Also, BTN doesn't 3bet or squeeze very ofte, so his range should be somewhat narrow.
In game I folded, because for marginal spot, but I could be very nitty

Yeah, i dont think 4b/jam would be marginal at all. I think BTN can easily do it with a hands like AQ/AJ/AT and he shouldnt feel bad if 30bb player cc/jam on him preflop.

So, i agree that this preflop sqz is very strong (around 5.5% from a data i own), but AK is just powerhouse on its own, and you should defintely profit here, even against really tight players.

Well, you must calculate if your 4b, 5b or call will make more money than -50bb/100.

What about 5 bet jam?
Because when you 4bet, you are allowing multiple players to just call and see a flop. And it's quite hard to play this OOP with such low SRP.

Jamming here is going to be +EV for sure with the amount of money in the middle and your blockers are so good that you're going to have a decent amount of fold equity
