What to do when your outs are exposed?

Was playing some 1/2 NL live last light. I'm on the button, Couple folds, raise to 6, couple folds, guy folds and accidentally flips up a K. To me I have QQ and 3 bet to 20. SB looks at cards and thinks for a min then goes all in for 54. Original raiser tanks and then finally mucks. I call. Guy flips up AK and I hold. He muttered something about the K being exposed and got up.

Thoughts on what anyone else would do if had AK and one of your outs were exposed?

He should of laid it down if he saw his card

No.1 - AK vs QQ is a coin-flip while Queens are slightly ahead.
No.2 - King is an exposed dead card, so it means his equity against your hand just got lower.
No.3 - It's his dumbass fault for not paying attention to the table. It's already important enough to pay attention to the hand even if he's not involved in the hand, not to mention if he's involved.
No.4 - If he paid attention, he would've called your 3-bet or folded. For me, I would've folded only because I hate playing out of position and knowing one of outs being a dead card.

If you input the hands of AKo vs QQ with one King being a dead card, QQ has 61-62% equity. Normally, AK vs QQ is 43 vs 57.

I would also think it was very probable that the original raiser had some sort of Ace.

it's 25bb and he has AK, even with a dead K he has plenty of equity against your range or else you're a gigantic nit, his play's fine.

if he wants to go allin to a raise and reraise preflop out of position with a hand that he needs to hit something to win with thats his business., you won my small blind there and thats it if it were me.

This is bad. The only time u should only put in a small blind with AK is like an extreme condition, where UTG raises... And there is like a cold 4 bet in front or something crazy. AK is a premium dude... Play it like one

This is entirely villain dependent (you are villain here). A lot of 1/2 live players aren't 3betting with less than AK. If you had a very narrow 3bet range, I'd fold AK when a King has been exposed as dead. One of my outs is dead and the exposed King makes it less likely you have AK also.

If your 3betting range on the button is wide and/or you have 3bet regularly, I'm shoving my last $54 in there because AK could have you dominated even with the dead King.

EDIT: Actually if I had $54 in front of me, I'm shoving regardless. I hate playing short stacked. But my point is, almost anything is villain dependent.
