I understand what you're saying, but if I don't understand a villains 3-bet range, I'm not calling a 3-bet especially OOP with AK automatically.

Trust me, I'm no nit as you know Renton, since we've played. I will however respect a 3-bet if I have no reason not to. If a player only 3-bets JJ-AA, then calling a 3-bet with AK in that spot is silly, unless you know them to stack off with overcards to their pair on the board.

I'm not going to place myself in reverse implied odds spots with a ??

There could be 3-bets flying all over the place for all I care. It's the guy who I haven't seen involve himself in those lines or who I don't know yet that I'm folding to with AK AQ in hand.
