AK gets action
5/10, full ring, effective stacks ~2200.
V is a decent player, quite tight overall, not a crusher but probably a small winner, although I have played just a handful of sessions with him.
H is utg and opens to 30 with AcKd.
A bunch of callers, like 4-5.
V in SB squeezes to 230.
BB folds.
First decision point:
- shove (least favourite option, H being quite deep and IP) ;
- 4bet smallish, to ~450-500;
- call.
H calls, all others folds, HU.
Flop (pot ~600, effective stacks ~2000):
4s4h2s
V bets 200
H calls
On this flop I expect V to cbet range, although I am not sure about his range ...
Is a call too loose here?
Turn (pot ~1000, effective stacks ~1800):
Kc
V bets 450
H calls or shoves?
Comments on any street are welcome

Assuming you just called the turn bet, then nice hand so far.
I'm fine with it but I might 4-bet pre. Okay with flat too. Agree that shoving isn't necessary but depends a little on players who called behind.
Flop call IP for 1/3rd is standard, especially unblocking ♠
Turn you're going with it at SPR < 2 imo. Just calling down to keep bluffs and ♠ draws in.

You have it backwards. You want the spade for backdoor equity here

I probably would fold flop
He is quite tight, so what's his squeezing range into you and this many players? Seems as if it'd be pretty tight, right? How does he see you?
A smallish 4bet would have been good. As played, he doesn't seem worried about the K, and it looks as if he's setting up for a no-brainer river shove.
You know him better than we do, though. Will he fold AA or AK to a shove? Will he bet the K w/ JJ/QQ or whatever other hand he might squeeze with?
I don't mind the call on the flop too much, but when he continues on the turn, I think we have to give it up.
