This happened in the PSO free roll game, and truth be told I had no clue what to do in the hand..Should I have 5bet A.I? I was thinking more about the points and just min cashing if anything/possibliy winning the entire thing...I really don't know (What to do in these cases) the table is pretty passive in general and I don't know exactly what I could've done in this case fold/call/shove...

I wasn't really worried about the SS A.I cuz I figured because there so short there gonna shove any Ax/KQ/KJ/ and any pair, and even if they do have AA/KK (It's just unlucky and that's that)...Yet this other player that 4bet then I'm like ok I have AKs (so what do you 4bet with)? I'm really lost, what would you do, and what guide lines should I use in the future should this reoccur again?

Think this is a fold barring more information. You might be in good shape vs. JJ/QQ type hands sometimes but almost never ahead and UTG+2 has one of your outs a huge % of the time.

I really have no other info to give besides those stats, and they didn't help me out in this case because it looked like a fold/seemed like a fold...Yet the biggest issue I was having with the hand itself was the fact that they 4bet while a SS was A.I....

Assuming they do have AA/KK then would they 4bet while there's a player A.I? Is that a wise move? Assuming they know I have AKs (lets assume this for a minute), If they woke up with AA/KK would they want to scare me out of the pot and win a small pot when potentially they can win a bigger pot? Which only leaves JJ/QQ (still can't leave out AA/KK, but that would really be a awkward play) because they're leaving me with 2 options fold, and A.I...So what can they have that makes any sense...I really don't know...Also would AKs (maybe make this play), yet there's 3 bet is none existent so
