I'll return with some thoughts on this later, but if you (not belgo, the rest of you) think that the question has now been completely answered, then ask yourself if you feel that you're completely comfortable with the difference between his answer and "bluffing."
I would not be 4betting AK >100BBs for value ever I dont think and I can really see myself doing it as a bluff either. but if I had to choose one it would be as a bluff.
I edited your first post, Belgo. Let me know if you want me to change it back.
So what do you do with AK in this spot? Fold it, flat call?
There are only going to be a couple hands that will have AK dominated, and I think most people would be unable to help themselves reraising all-in with those hands (AA,KK).
Does that mean you plan to 4bet and then fold if villain 5bet shoves?
If we're 4betting AK preflop isn't there basically always enough dead money in the pot to make it a value shove?

why not 3bet shove? Most hands that re-raise us preflop will call
If you raise 4xBB, get 3bet to 12BB and then 4bet to 30BB your allways geting the right price to call a shove(except maybe if villain 3bets/folds ATC but only 4bets AA.how often do u have that read on some one?) with 100BB stacks.If I was reraised allin and I had AK I think I would fold, yes, depending on the player. I would much rather put my money somewhere postflop or preflop with a pocket pair. Of course AK will very rarely be a big underdog, but chances are your going to need to catch something unless the person going allin is a fish.
In this scenario, we don't have the option to 3-bet; we can only fourbet. If you meant "4bet shove" then I'm not at all sure what games you're playing, because that's decidedly not the case in any games I've played, ever.why not 3bet shove? Most hands that re-raise us preflop will call
Oh, btw, AK is a drawing hand and is an underdog to pocket 2's. (Just wanted to get that out of the way.)
