AKs/o => how to play facing a 3 Bet!!!

[luckwins]

In a 6Max Game!!!!!

I) How do you play AKs/o vs an "Unknown" who 3 Bets you.

What do you do IP for example (BU vs. Blind 3Bet)

What do you do OPP (UTG vs. MP,CO,BU)

II) How do you play AKs/o vs an NIT or vs a Fish!

IP?
OOP?


III)What do you change in your action when you are both "deepstacked"?


IV) What is your normal 4Bet/Call Shove Range vs an "Unknown"?

It's too opponent specific, but..

IP I'm generally flatting, OOP I'm 4b almost always, unless we're deep or something.

Against a fish it depends what type of fish. Super loose passive who only 3b AA/KK? Probably muck it. Against a spewy retard fish? Getting it in preflop and losing to ATo.

I'm calling shoves against an unknown, assuming 100bb's, typically QQ, AK+, depending just how unknown they are.

Again though, it depends so much more on other factors and there really is no one way to play the hand. It's high variance regardless.

I generally like shipping QQ+ and AK preflop, and sometimes JJ versus a real bluffy aggro type. Deepstacked, I like just calling with AK. I'm also calling 4bet-shoves with QQ+ and AK.

Versus the range of (JJ+, AK, AQs), QQ and AK are basically flipping and KK is almost a 2:1 favorite. Plus, a fair bit of the time people are doing something crazy anyway, so even though it's high variance, I like getting all-in preflop with QQ+, AK.

With AK specifically facing a 3bet, shipping it might not be the best play depending on circumstances, but it's never really bad because you do have good equity against his shove-calling range (often alot more than just QQ+, AK), and of course, once you shove, position doesn't matter. A better player might make better use of the hand, but shipping it can't be too bad. Just have to make sure you're rolled for the flips.
