Default No guts no glory. Pushing with AK to a 3-bet

This hand came up today.
It's the first hand at the table. I dont normaly play 3/6 NL, but I see a fish sitting with 260 dollars there, with two other guys, one has over 3k chips, and the other about 1.8k.
I sit directly right to the "fish" and get the biggest stack to my right. I buy in for 600bucks.

First hand I get dealt in BB is this one:

UTG: bigstack: Raises 18
Button: Mr.NiceGuy: Calls 18
Lb: FISH: Calls 18
BB: HERO: Kc Ad re-raises to 71

UTG thinks a long time

UTG: Re-raise to 260
Button: folds
Lb: Folds
Hero:

now, I figure my play looks just like a squeeze, so he can re-raise light. This fuck might just be trying to bully me around.

Hero: All-in 523 dollars
UTG: Folds pretty fast

I collect halph a buy-in in my first hand

The fish goes broke 3 hands later with A4, and I leave the table shortly after. Given that I was there because of him.

There where some rumors about miss click fold Aces, but that we chose to ignore.
The 1.8k stack said something abot "Folded Aces again?" and the chubby stack said "missclick" - but there could have been some fat irony in that word-changing. I dont know.

That is a pretty brave move. I'm not a huge plan of playing AK that aggressive, especially in cash games. I definitely wouldn't have pushed when he re raised.

But it worked for you.....each to their own

I'm often folding AK to a 3 bet pf against some players. If the 12/8 3 bets me I dump it for sure. If the 45/30 does, well shoving seems like a sound plan everytime.

when ever the rock reaches for his chips, be aware, be very aware

I dunno, I think pushing AK here is pretty standard.

I'll write some math on it later.
