Easy fold on the flop, don't slow-play ak pre-flop tho, 4-bet 100% there

Just jam it pre; you're only a huge dog to AA obviously and it's deffo a better spot than flatting here as you're always faced with far to many tough decisions like this one 3 way..it's like the best flop for you but with the action given it feels you'r enever good to call here. Sure there are worse A,x that might stack of here but also A,3/A,9/44/99all got there which I guess is all very possible given the action...but meh just try avoid these situations. Also given how tightish they both are..I'd expect us to be behind a lot here.

I agree here. 4-bet preflop, especially as SB could fold easily.
Post-flop, after check-raise and raise-raise from 2-player, 1 pair is never enough, regardles of kicker. You would need some fush draw or strait draw there to even think about calling.
Raising on that flop was correct, but even after that you have to be ready to fold sometimes, unless its uber-fish.

Btw. what was the outcome? I suppose you put it here as they had AQ and AK or something like that.

BB is definately AA or AK, but SB looks like a set. Look at the difference on his PRF and VPIP. He does not call A9 or A3, and he 3bets AK or AQ I think. So its 44 or 99. RIght? But thats just what I think.

4bet pre please. AKss needs to be part of your 4bet/gii range and flatting a squeeze isnt going to be fun since the SB comes along heaps. whats more we actually have the tippy top of our percieved range here. folding flop to SB redic sizing but i would happily gii otherwise. we have all bar 4 combos of BB range beat or chopping and SB only has 6 we lose to.
