Wrong Decision?

I played in a private freeroll tonight. 72 people. With 25 people left and 10 get paid. I was at about average chip stack of 5900 or so. Blinds were 50/100. Dealt AK suited. Early position raises to 200. I called from mid position. Button raises to 400. BB goes all-in for 3900 for so. Original raiser folds. So I am left with a decision. Call the All-in with AKs when I have him covered but am worried about the Button who has a 14k stack to act after me.

After some thought, I decided to raise to 5900 (all-in) to try to isolate the original all-in caller. Since it was possible I would be pot committed anyway if I put in 3900 as a call. Button calls my all-in. I show AKs, BB shows 92s and Button shows AA.
I'm dominated and lose my stack when 2 queens and some paints show up.

Should I have just called? Was there a way to fold the AKs here?

This is a tough spot...if you just call the 3.9k and the BU iso raises you..you have to call as you've committed 2/3 your stack....however overall with how strong that 4bet shove looks I think folding AKs here is best...plus you still have to worry about the 3bettor..when you fold you still have 60 bigs behind and that's a workable stack and much better than taking whats most likely going to be a flip as the 3better and the player who 4bet shoved are most always going to have a range of AK+ QQ+ which puts you in a very bad spot...im laying down AKs here and waiting for better spots!

I agonized over the hand afterwards. I unfortunately couldn't lie down the AKs. I made the all-in 5 bet hoping the 3better would fold since his 3bet was so small. But he had AA and was surely not laying down it turns out. I'll just have to store this hand in my memory bank and be more cautious in the future

I guess my question here is why flat the min raise with AK? Sounds like you didn't have any plan for the hand and was just clicking buttons. Possible if we had initially 3bet, we may find a fold somewhere.

Generally it's a good idea to 3-bet pre-flop with AK because it gives you more information. You force the initial raiser to give you more information about his hand, i.e. does he fold, flat your 3-bet, or 4-bet you, and based on this and anything else you know you can start to narrow his range a bit. It also discourages speculative hands in later position or in the blinds from coming along because of pot odds, especially since the opener just min-raised.

Usually (but not always) people in later position or in the blinds who throw in a "cold 4-bet" pre-flop have very strong hands. In this case, I would have folded because in general you're not going to be any kind of favorite with that much action going on pre-flop. If you have AK and you're against say AQ and any PP going to the showdown, you're not going to come out ahead the majority of the time and 39BB is too much to commit here, given that you don't know if the button is going to force you to go all-in pre-flop if you just call.

Hi why wrong ? hehehee actually im new here not so familiar to all games but willing to know them so much familiarized

I obviously still need to work on my "observing other players moves" part of my game. But even with good reads ... things can still go horribly wrong.

Is this live?

Anyway, someone might be holding KK or AA.

You even know the term dominated.

Absolutely, sorry but I consider this really a wrong decision.

This was a 72 person private freeroll event.

I'm currently reading on 2 books now. 1 is cash game math basically and the other is general poker strategy.
