Ugh I hate these spots. With such a dry flop texture it’s a bad board for his 3-betting range when compared to your actual holdings here, so you are ahead of almost all of his C-betting range. Personally I prefer the call here because his range is drawing so poorly to catch up with you when he’s behind.
Is there merit to 4-betting here preflop? I know AK is kind of a blocker-bluff as a 4bet with these stacks vs the SB range but frankly so is raising the flop, and by then they’ve realized their flop equity and can release the hands that didn’t catch up. Very curious to see what other people think about this.
