I can pretty much never get away with a situation like this unless I am up against a nit. Just because I am UTG doesn't mean the 3 bet is really strong I have seen it plenty of times. I am not a nit UTG and I am sure the regs know that who might have analysed me.
So is this just normal and part of variance? If not what should I really do in a situation like this? 4 betting AK has a ton of fold equity which is why I love doing it. But then folding after 4 betting at 100 BB just seems wrong to me. There will be times I would have folded against QQ and AK which would be really bad.
