Hi,

I think I played this terribly. I feel I should have 4 bet pre. I also don't like my line after cold calling 3bet. I don't have enough hands on any players (just started using PokerTracker).

Thanks.
p.s. Big shout out to Peter Clarke for his fantastic From The Ground Up course. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bubble has burst around 20 mins. Players flying out left, right and centre. I get to this hand and what I would like to know is, is my spot a good one to shove or should I have flat called and re-evaluated on the flop?

Just a little on the players. I have 20 hands on player4 and he's playing 40/21, and 97 hands on player9 at 16/14. player4 has been erratic since moving onto the table but player9 has played a very TAG game. I knew his min reraise looked a little wierd hence why I thought to shove on him for max fold equity. Is this the correct thinking? I put my hand into the pokerstrategy equilab with just my AK and against their general ranges (which gave me 45.17%). In future is this correct or should I be putting in their positional VPIP and PFR?
