I 4bet shove to isolate MP as I expect UTG to fold most their range when we shove (and we have AK to block AA/KK).

Yes you are missing out on your equity here. Even if you know he only have kk+,AK we need to call bc we have already invested so much.

Much prefer jamming pre in the hope that UTG might fold QQ AK. UTG looks a bit tight passive but it will still be awkward if we call and miss the flop.

Since we're not that thrilled to see a 16/9 guy come along for the ride I'd just shove over the top to isolate. That being said once you elect to call you invested way too much into the pot to ever get away from this hand.

You have to call here as played bud,even if up against a range of only AA, KK & QQ. Start throwing in some AK, JJ, TT, AQ then you are burning money by folding.

Turlock: Much prefer jamming pre in the hope that UTG might fold QQ AK. UTG looks a bit tight passive but it will still be awkward if we call and miss the flop.

Excellent observation on the potential awkward spot.

Noted, forget being results oriented and go for the optimal play.
