Thanks for the detailed response, Renton.
Would you rather flat AK vs the BB then? People are just so tight 3betting BB v CO, I can't remember the last time someone 3bet AQ against me. I see your point though vs the SB and will take this into consideration next session.
Regarding protecting betting is this something you'd do mostly in a 3bet pot on any board that is Txx,x or lower?
I think it would really make sense for villain to cbet small w/ most of his range on these textures and can get away with it due to having a range advantage - he will deny us realizing equity with a lot of our weak hands that have a few outs and make it difficult for us to get to SD. Most people play more polar though in practice it seems and rely on what is close to geometric sizing, though as proven in MOP it is how you maximize value with the nuts (a small portion of most ranges)
