I know I will get a "3bet pre" response, but I find I am not profitable 3 betting AK OOP against a tag when they raise from EP. Against a LP raiser/lag/fish, etc I usually will. I think the only hands I'm a dog to are AA, and KK, so is this flop shippable?

Full Tilt - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players

Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

CO: $5.00
BTN: $6.02
SB: $7.11
Hero (BB): $6.65
UTG: $5.27

SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero has K A

UTG raises to $0.15, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.32, 2 players) 6 7 K
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.25, Hero raises to $1.00, UTG raises to $2.00, Hero ??

3bet pre (wouldn't want you to be wrong).

Get it in on the flop.

I was being serious; folding pre is probably better than flatting then debating raise-fold on this flop.

Against good TAGs AKs is an easy fold pre. As played fist pump shove

????

It's 6Max and your folding AKs here pre....I 3Bet it here but flatting isn't that bad either as you keep hands like AJ and AQ in the hand which you dominate. I don't see how this is a fold pre.

you have 30% against sets, 43% against AK, 51-53% against 2 pair, 70% against another AK and you are a huge favorite against anything else. don't ask, just ship it :)

so how did it go?

Possibility, but if a 3rd diamond shows up, my action will be dead.

And since it was asked, I shipped, he turned over AA, and I couldn't find a diamond or king.

I made the thread wondering along the lines of, if I shove, will I only be called by hands that are beating me. Against any hand, I still have equity, and not drawing dead, so is it ok to shove and have some fold equity also. With his stats, I don't think he'd call with anything that I'm currently ahead of.

Wasn't sure if I was donkey spewing.

You're at 5NL, no it won't. And if villain has a strong range, then when you raise the flop, you're just turning TPTK into a semi-bluff where villain won't fold anything that beats you.
