With this 4-bet sizing, we should mathematically be calling his shove. There are more combinations of AK which means we are getting the right price even if his 5-bet shove is only QQ+, AK+
It’s a marginally +EV spot so the bigger point is that we can accumulate chips in much better spots, especially using our large stack to lean on dwindling short stacks that don’t want to bubble. Call the 3-bet in position and evaluate.
