poker stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players

UTG: $10.00
MP: $11.80
CO: $10.67
BTN: $10.60
Hero (SB): $10.25
BB: $10.00

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is SB with A K
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.30, Hero raises to $1, BB raises to $3, 1 fold, Hero ??

What should I do here. Villian in BB is 16/13 by 36 hands and I have no reason to think he's good or bad. The line I took I really don't like and in heinsight I think shoving or folding is the best because if I hit an A or K on the flop it's all going in anyway. So shove or fold against an unknown?

shove

given stats and him auto topping up you can assume he's a slightly nitty reg but given positions (BTN v blinds) he can have AQ+ TT+ and you've got plenty of equity

eh idk. I want to fold because cold 4bets are usually pretty strong especially against a guy like this but we do have blockers so we might have FE....

Cold 4 bets scare me, esp from tightish players. If this guy has seen me 3 bet a bunch in the 36 hands I prob shove but if not I think I fold.

I dont know this player but I would think at best he might 4bet with JJ/QQ, otherwise I fold AK. I dont do very well at 6 max tho so maybe I need to get in the habit of shoving with AK and such. You might look at his 3/4bet stat but after only a few hands, this might be his first 4bet.

Fold. This is a shove in plenty of spots against more aggro opponents when there are obvious gameflow considerations -- i.e. btn opener is loose and you've been 3-betting him a ton. This guy is generally just playing his cards and you're generally crushed.

JJ+ usually in this siuation. Rarely a Low Pocket pair being agressive. Might give him TT but thats pushing it. AK coin flip at best.

Pretty easy fold, getting only 44% pot odds with 40% equity.
